Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew has backed Emmanuel Adebayor and Connor Wickham to cause problems for Arsenal in Sundays Premier League clash. West Ham striker Andy Carroll scored a seven-minute hat-trick in the 3-3 draw with the Gunners last weekend and Pardew believes his target men can cause similar problems for Arsene Wengers defence.Players of that size, power and pace can terrorise defences, said Pardew, who will be unable to call upon the injured Dwight Gayle this weekend. Thats what we want Connor and Ade to do for us. Connors had some terrific games for us but just not enough of them. Palace boss Alan Pardew shows his frustrations on the touchline Weve really missed his presence at times. We took Adebayor in the last window because we were struggling to get Connor on the pitch.And Ade played well against Everton when he came on, so now Connors got competition, hes got to stay fit.Pardew managed Carroll at Newcastle and echoed West Ham boss Slaven Bilics recent comments that target men must work hard to stay in peak condition. Ed Chamberlin and Jamie Redknapp look ahead to Super Sunday I had Andy Carroll and I heard Slaven saying last week that the big guys, they need to really focus on looking after themselves, added Pardew.They are both heavy and aggressive players, who are quick, and that does make them more prone to injuries than most players.So they need to protect themselves in training sometimes and certainly protect themselves when they get injured, and look after themselves.We are educating Conor on that front. Its been stop-start with injuries for Connor and he hasnt had a run at it. Pardew reacts to Palaces goalless draw with Everton Weve been pleased with his progress and next year if we can stop this run of injuries he gets we can have a good player on our hands.Palace are unbeaten in their last three matches and lie 11 points clear of the relegation zone going into the weekend, although they have played a game more than Sunderland and Newcastle, who occupy the final two relegation places.Watch Arsenal v Crystal Palace on Super Sunday.
