Team News

Newcastle
Brighton
  • Emil Krafth, Jamaal Lascelles and Matt Richie are all set to miss the remainder of the season through injury.
  • Sean Longstaff remains sidelined with a foot injury for this game.
  • Ryan Fraser continues to train with the U21's.
  • Adam Lallana, Solly March, Adam Webster, Jakub Moder, Jeremy Sarmiento and Tariq Lamptey all remain sidelined with injury.
  • Joel Veltman remains an injury doubt, having missed the game with Arsenal on the weekend.
  • During the win over the Gunners, Julio Enciso was forced off with an injury, so is a potential injury doubt for this game.

Prediction

  • Newcastle were held to a 2-2 draw by Leeds on Saturday, after losing to Arsenal, 2-0, the previous weekend, leaving them level on points with fourth place Manchester United. On home soil in the Premier League this season, the Magpies have only lost twice, while only the Red Devils (8) have conceded fewer goals than Eddie Howe's side (13).
  • Brighton responded to their 5-1 defeat to Everton with a 3-0 win over Arsenal at the Emirates on Sunday. The Seagulls' 28 points away from home in the league this season can only be bettered by Arsenal (39), Manchester City (36) and Newcastle (31).
  • With both sides still fighting for European places, this should be quite a close contest, so expect a draw from this game.

  • Newcastle are looking good for a CL place.

  • Bet W1

  • The fairy tale I’m hoping for is that Mac Allister scores a winner for Brighton, helping Liverpool to scrape Champions League qualification before likely joining us in the summer. Also, although Brighton have on paper an incredibly difficult run-in, it’s not impossible that both United and Newcastle choke and Liverpool and Brighton slot into 3rd and 4th

  • @sarigginsUSA You're grasping those straws so tightly that they've turned to diamonds

  • 2-0

  • 2-1 .

  • 8 players missing from Brighton and 4 from Newcastle. Brighton do not have a right back.
