Brighton vs Newcastle: Premier League preview
Consistency has been lacking for both Brighton and Newcastle this season. Neither has yet followed one result with another like it in the Premier League.
Brighton have put together a very solid run of one defeat in five matches and emerge from the October international break unbeaten in three.
Fabian Hurzeler's Seagulls are also undefeated at home, beating Manchester City and drawing with Tottenham Hotspur at the Amex.
Brighton will have their work cut out keeping Woltemade quiet. The Newcastle striker has scored in each of his last three Premier League matches and has a Champions League goal to his name.
The summer signing also scored the Germany goal that beat Northern Ireland in Belfast on Monday and his confidence will be through the roof as the Magpies fly to Sussex.
Brighton have been enjoying the best of winger Yankuba Minteh of late, while the central defensive pairing of Lewis Dunk and Jan Paul van Hecke has been keeping the team steady at the back despite not yet keeping a clean sheet.
The teams are tied together on nine points in the middle of the early-season Premier League table, separated by a single goal's worth of goal difference in 11th and 12th.
Depending on other results, a winner at the Amex could jump up towards the European places as the standings begin to take shape and winter approaches.
Adam Webster, Solly March and Jack Hinshelwood are long-term Seagulls absentees but Hurzeler might be in a position to welcome back Kaoru Mitoma and Joel Veltman after they missed the draw against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Tino Livramento, Yoane Wissa and Lewis Hall are all expected to be out until November for Newcastle but Eddie Howe will have his fingers crossed for an otherwise clean bill of health.
