Brighton vs Newcastle United – Predicted lineup and team news

Brighton welcome Newcastle United to the Amex Stadium this afternoon for a fixture that has historically become their most favourable in the Premier League.

Impressively, the Seagulls have never lost a home game against the Magpies in eight top-flight attempts. Consequently, they will be full of confidence as they look to extend that remarkable record. Fabian Hurzeler’s side will likely rely on their well-known resilience and high-pressure style.

For instance, they have gained more points from losing positions than any other side since the start of last season, which is a testament to their character. Furthermore, their intense pressing has led to more high turnovers than any other team this season. This is a tactic they will surely use again today to unsettle the visitors.

Fabian Hurzeler has confirmed that Brajan Gruda will miss the match today. Unfortunately, Gruda joins a significant injury list that includes Solly March and Adam Webster. However, the manager has been handed a potential triple boost elsewhere.

Kaoru Mitoma, Joël Veltman, and Diego Gomez have all been in training this week. Although they face late fitness checks, the team expect them to be available for selection. Defensively, Jan Paul van Hecke, who currently leads the league in line-breaking passes, will be a key figure in building attacks from the back.
