Team news

Jose Izquierdo (knee) and Steven Alzate (groin) are both out. Adam Webster (hip) and Alireza Jahanbakhsh (hamstring) will “hopefully” be fit, according to Graham Potter.

Fabian Schar is out with a dislocated shoulder, while Jamaal Lascelles (knock) and Ciaran Clark (ankle) will also likely miss this one. Florian Lejeune (thigh) is a big doubt too, leaving Steve Bruce short at the back.

Brighton XI: Ryan; Montoya, Webster, Dunk, Burn; Stephens, Bissouma, Mooy, Trossard; Murray, Maupay

Newcastle XI: Dubravka; Manquillo, Krafth, Fernandez, Rose; Bentaleb, Shelvey; Lazaro, Almiron, Ritchie; Gayle

Prediction

The Seagulls have been solid since the restart, heavy defeats to Man City, Liverpool and Man United aside, and will see this as an opportunity to bring up 40 points and confirm a successful debut campaign under Graham Potter. Home win. 2-1.
