Newcastle United face a thoroughly important encounter this weekend as they face Brighton and Hove Albion at St James’ Park in the Premier League.
With it being so tight at the bottom of the table there is a big need for the Toon to at the very minimum to not fall to a defeat in this one against a side who will, come the end of the season, likely end up near the bottom three.
Rafa Benitez’s side will be looking for just their second victory since October against Brighton – a run which has seen just four points in their last 11 matches in the league.
After going on such a poor run of results, it’s important that Newcastle turn their season around with a much-needed performance in this one to back up their solid showing in the last game against runaway leaders Manchester City
Here is who we think will start for Newcastle.
