Newcastle Team News
In the last round of the Premier League, Newcastle players drew 2:2 away from home with Leeds. The home team took the lead in the seventh minute, and soon after they missed a penalty. Three minutes after that, a penalty was awarded to the visiting team, but Callum Wilson managed to take it. Once again, the harshest sentence was awarded to the guests, and the same player was again up to the task. In the 79th minute, the home team scored another goal, which was the final result.
Currently, Newcastle is in third position in the table with 66 points won, one more than the fifth-placed Liverpool, but also with one game more. In the previous eleven league games, they recorded as many as eight wins, one draw, and two losses. Until the end of the season, in addition to the game with Brighton, they will also play against Leicester at home, as well as Chelsea away.
As for the injured players, Emil Krafth, Jamaal Lascelles, and Matt Ritchie are out until the end of the season, while Sean Longstaff should be fit for the next game. All other players should be available to coach Eddie Howe.
Callum Wilson and Alexander Isak are both expected to be in the starting line-up again, while Jacob Murphy, Anthony Gordon, Miguel Almiron, and Allan Saint-Maximin will fight for the third striker position. There should be no other dilemmas regarding the starting 11.
Brighton Team News
In the last round, Brighton surprisingly defeated Arsenal away from home with as much as 0:3. They took the lead at the beginning of the first half when Julio Enciso managed to checkmate the home goalkeeper. They doubled their advantage only in the 86th minute, the scorer was Deniz Undav, and the final result was set by Pervis Estupinan in stoppage time.
They are currently in sixth place in the table with 58 points, one more than Tottenham, but with two games less than them. In the last five league matches, they registered three wins and two losses. Until the end of the season, they will also play against Southampton and Manchester City at home, and they will visit Aston Villa.
Brighton coach Roberto De Zerbi confirmed that he will not be able to count on Jakub Moder, Tariq Lamptey, Jeremy Sarmiento, Adam Webster, Solly March, and Adam Lallana for this game, while Joel Veltman is a question mark. All the other players are ready to welcome the duel against Newcastle.
If Veltman is not ready, the position of the right back should be covered by Moises Caicedo or Pascal Gross, while Deniz Undav will probably find himself on the bench on the reserve players despite the great game he gave against Arsenal.
