Newcastle United vs Brighton: Premier League preview
The Seagulls are also unbeaten in four league games away from home, which should serve as encouragement for today's visit to St James' Park. Brighton will be looking for a second win of the season against the Magpies.
Brighton's recent record against Newcastle is excellent. Their last defeat was on Tyneside in May 2023. That's six matches unbeaten including last season's win in the FA Cup. Last time Newcastle won this fixture, Miguel Almiron claimed an assist for a Callum Wilson goal.
Fabian Hurzeler and Brighton are pushing for their first qualification for the Champions League but a return to the Europa League, in which they played their only previous European campaign two years ago, is tantalisingly close.
They have fixtures to come against Newcastle, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Leeds United and Manchester United. Only Wolves took points off the Seagulls in the reverse fixtures earlier in the season.

Newcastle have got themselves into a bit of a state. With little left to play for, their supporters would be forgiven for being frustrated that they're capable of back-to-back wins against Man United and Chelsea but have lost their last four matches.
Taking zero points from games against Sunderland, Crystal Palace, AFC Bournemouth and Arsenal at this stage in the season is indicative of Newcastle's is a poor return for a team with such recent Champions League involvement of their own and manager Howe is surely at risk as a result.
The Magpies have won eight league matches at St James' this season but are in the bottom three of the six-match Premier League home form table, indicating the extent to which they've lost their impetus even on their own patch.
