Brighton vs Newcastle Lineups and Last Match
Brighton
Brighton fell short at home to West Ham last time out, going down 3-1 in the end. Gross scored in the 81st-minute for the Seagulls but by that point, the hosts were already three goals down and the game was effectively over. Epinola and Moder and the two main injury concerns for Brighton this weekend.
Predicted Lineup – Verbruggen (GK), Webster, Dunk, Estupiñán, Milner, Groß, March, Gilmour, Mitoma, Welbeck & Ferguson
Newcastle
Newcastle blew their chance of securing all 3pts against one of their rivals for the Champions League places this season, Liverpool. Former Toffee, Anthony Gordon fired Newcastle in front in the 25th minute and shortly after that, Liverpool had van Dijk sent-off. Despite coming close to a second goal, Newcastle failed to use their one-man advantage as Liverpool substitute Nunez scored twice to win the game for Klopp's men. Kraft, Botman, Willock, Manquillo, Hall and Joelinton are all doubts for this weekend's clash due to injury but will have the chance to pass late fitness tests.
Predicted Lineup – Pope (GK), Trippier, Schär, Burn, Botman, Almirón, Guimarães, Tonali, Joelinton, Isak & Gordon
Starting Lineups
Brighton
Newcastle
*Lineups are usually announced 1hr before kick-off
Player to Watch: Pervis Estupinan
Brighton's Ecuadorian full-back has started the new season very brightly, netting one goal and claiming two assists in his opening three appearances.
We're expecting the 25-year-old to push forward and provide width for the Seagulls this weekend in what should be a tough game. However, Newcastle are yet to keep a clean sheet in the league this season so we fully expect Brighton to create chances on Saturday.
Estupinan is the start of many Fantasy Football teams this season and clearly has plenty of confidence running through him after a really positive start to the season.
