Liverpool have struggled to find their feet this campaign. accumulating just ten points from nine games so far.
And despite Newcastle finishing above the Reds last season, Pardew has played down claims that his side are favourites and believes the pressure, as it often does, lies with Liverpool due to the high levels of expectation at Anfield.
"There's a little bit more pressure at Liverpool because of the stature and the trophies that they've won," Pardew said ahead of the game.
"You have to look at Newcastle and say we haven't won a trophy in so long. You'd have to put them, historically, much higher than us.
"It's a period for Brendan and the team when they're evolving and when they're evolving they're vulnerable.
"Perhaps they are at the moment but they still have some fantastic players.
"The England captain (Steven Gerrard) and (Luis) Suarez are two of the best players in the Premiership, so we have to make sure we are very much on top of our game."
