Match Preview

Eddie Howe’s long-term future at Newcastle has been assured this week following the announcement that Thomas Tuchel will replace Gareth Southgate as the England manager.

However, the Magpies will be hoping that the recent announcement could improve their form after going three without a win before the international break. An uneventful 0-0 draw against Everton was played out before the break.

Brighton finally got their season back on track before the international window, as they came back from 2-0 down to claim maximum points against Tottenham. Despite their poor run, the Seagulls have lost just once in their opening seven matches this term.

Newcastle are unbeaten in their last three Premier League matches against Brighton at St. James’ Park, winning on two occasions. However, Brighton’s two defeats over that period are the only losses in 14 attempts that they have suffered against the Magpies.

The Magpies have been in strong form in home matches across the last two seasons, having gone eleven without a defeat. However, only six victories have been recorded over that period.

Brighton will need to improve defensively after conceding eight in their last three. However, they have also scored at least two goals in their last three Premier League matches.
