Last weekend’s defeat to Liverpool has put Newcastle United in 18th position in the Premier League. They next face Brighton and Hove Albion at St. James’ Park.
Last season, Newcastle lost their home fixture against the Seagulls while drawing the away one. The Magpies are yet to register a top-flight win over Brighton and will be hoping to do so tomorrow.
Steve Bruce’s side had a fine start against Liverpool last season and have a good chance of winning against Graham Potter’s team. Brighton started the season well, beating Watford 3-0.
However, they haven’t won a single Premier League match since then, drawing against West Ham and Burnley while losing against Southampton and Manchester City.
A win for Newcastle will certainly get them out of the relegation zone while a defeat would mark their fifth successive winless result against the Seagulls.
Now, we will take a look at who could be on Bruce’s team sheet tomorrow.
