The Magpies are unbeaten so far at home this season and have tasted just one defeat in all competitions, coming at Craven Cottage against Fulham last month. Eddie Howe’s side currently sit 7th in the table and know a win today would see them end the day above their visitors.
Brighton, meanwhile, have made a solid start to life under Fabian Hurzeler and defeated Tottenham Hotspur 3-2 before the international break as they overturned a 2-0 half-time deficit to secure all three points. Yankuba Minteh’s return to St James’ Park, a stadium he never featured at during his one year as a Magpies player, adds an extra layer of spice to this afternoon’s match.
