Most recent H2Hs: Advantage Brighton

Brighton have an impressive recent record against Newcastle, with the Seagulls currently unbeaten in their last five meetings with the Magpies. Newcastle's last win at the AMEX Stadium was back in 2017, when both clubs were in the Championship.

Brighton preview: Quartet in a race against time

Brighton's injuries are stacking up, but there are four players in contention to return this weekend. Joel Veltman, Brajan Gruda, Diego Gomez and Kaoru Mitoma are all in contention to be fit, and you feel that Fabian Hurzeler will be most keen to see the latter back in his starting XI. Predicted lineup: Verbruggen (GK), Wieffer, Dunk, Van Hecke, Kadioglu, Ayari, Baleba, Minteh, Rutter, Mitoma, Welbeck Last five results

• Wolves 1-1 Brighton
• Chelsea 1-3 Brighton
• Barnsley 0-6 Brighton
• Brighton 2-2 Tottenham
• Bournemouth 2-1 Brighton

Newcastle preview: Issues at full-back

Newcastle's first-choice full-backs, Tino Livramento and Lewis Hall, are both ruled out of this one, meaning Eddie Howe will need the experienced duo of Kieran Trippier and Dan Burn to continue. Yoane Wissa is still no closer to making his Newcastle debut. Jacob Ramsey and Lewis Miley are both considered doubts. Predicted lineup: Pope (GK), Trippier, Schar, Botman, Burn, Tonali, Guimaraes, Joelinton, Elanga, Woltemade, Gordon Last five results

• Newcastle 2-0 Nottingham Forest
• Union SG 0-4 Newcastle
• Newcastle 1-2 Arsenal
• Newcastle 4-1 Bradford City
• Bournemouth 0-0 Newcastle

Player to watch: Nick Woltemade

Nick Woltemade has had a brilliant start to the season, scoring three goals in his first three Premier League starts for Newcastle. To add to that, the centre-forward bagged his first senior Germany goal during the international break, so he should be on cloud nine coming into this one.
