Two games, two wins, two clean sheets – things couldn’t have got off to a better start for Steve Bruce and his Magpies side so far as they prepare to welcome Brighton & Hove Albion to St James’s Park this afternoon (2pm kick-off).
But Newcastle are yet to beat the Seagulls since they both won promotion to the Premier League in 2017 – the previous two meetings between the sides last season ended as goalless draws.
Bruce has a couple of selection dilemmas ahead of today’s match with Miguel Almiron and Ryan Fraser pushing to start after impressive Carabao Cup displays.
Meanwhile, Allan Saint-Maximin is still likely to start despite taking a knock late on against Blackburn Rovers in midweek.
