Newcastle United XI vs Brighton – Predicted lineup and team news

Newcastle United travel to their ultimate bogey ground today. They face Brighton at the Amex Stadium, a venue where they have remarkably never won in the Premier League.

Adding to the challenge, Eddie Howe’s side are also looking to end a worrying four-match goal drought away from home in the league. Although the Magpies have been defensively solid this season, keeping a league-high five clean sheets, their struggles in front of goal have become a major issue.

In fact, the team currently possesses one of the lowest shot conversion rates in the division. Therefore, finding a clinical edge will be vital if they are to finally break their duck at the Amex and secure a much-needed away win.

Newcastle United team news

Eddie Howe has received a huge fitness boost ahead of this match with the return of influential midfielder Jacob Ramsey. Ramsey is back in the squad and available to play after recovering from a long injury lay-off. There is less positive news elsewhere, though. Key attacker Yoane Wissa has suffered a setback and will, unfortunately, be out for longer than initially expected.

Furthermore, Tino Livramento and Lewis Hall also remain unavailable. Joelinton faces a late check on a minor groin issue but is expected to be fit. Up front, Nick Woltemade will likely lead the line again, looking for his first away goal after scoring in his home appearances so far.
