Event Preview
Eddie Howe deserves huge credit for the job that he has done at Newcastle, and a memorable 2024-25 campaign could yet end with a second Champions League finish in three seasons. The Magpies come into this important round of matches after winning four of their last five fixtures in the Premier League.
Brighton’s Champions League push has ended tamely in the second half of the season after a poor run of form. However, the Seagulls have managed to bounce back to winning ways following a hard-fought success last weekend. That win ended a run of three defeats in four league matches.

This hasn’t been a productive fixture for Newcastle in recent seasons, as they are winless in all seven of their away matches against Brighton in the Premier League. However, four draws have been played out across that period. Brighton recorded a 1-0 win in the reverse fixture this term.
The Seagulls have already recorded two wins against the Magpies this season, as they secured an FA Cup success against their opponents earlier in the season. But, they haven’t recorded three wins against a single opponent since the 2009-10 season.
Newcastle could make club history this weekend, as they chase a 20th win of the campaign. They last reached that tally in 2002-03. Eddie Howe could also become the first English manager to reach that benchmark since Frank Lampard in 2019-20.
Brighton vs. Newcastle Picks
Brighton’s inconsistent form in the second half of the season is a major concern ahead of this showdown. Newcastle’s head-to-head record against the Seagulls raises issues, but their momentum could ensure that they are the most solid selection on Sunday.
