Can Brighton Extend Winning Run?

Newcastle are having a solid season in the Premier League, sitting sixth on 44 points. Eddie Howe’s men have won 13, drawn five, and lost nine. Breaking into the top four is the priority, and the Magpies are currently three points behind fourth.

Brighton’s form has picked up, with the Seagulls soaring to eighth place after three straight wins. Albion are outsiders in the race for a UEFA Champions League spot, but Fabian Hurzeler’s boys certainly have the momentum.

Newcastle booked their place in the fifth round of the FA Cup with wins over Bromley and Birmingham City. Brighton hammered Norwich City in the opening round before edging past Chelsea at the Amex Stadium.

Newcastle are already in one cup final this season, but Howe’s troops are looking to go far in the FA Cup. Brighton will undoubtedly be tricky customers, but United are the slight favourites to get the job done.

Last season, Brighton picked up four points from the two Premier League meetings. They drew 1-1 at St James’, but Albion secured an impressive 3-1 victory at the Amex.
