Newcastle United, buoyed by back-to-back wins over Sheffield United (5-1) and Burnley (4-1), is looking to clinch a spot in the Conference League as they host Brighton at St. James’ Park....CONTINUE READING THE ARTICLE FROM THE SOURCE
The Magpies have been on a scoring spree lately and plan to maintain their assertive attacking play against the Seagulls. Kieran Trippier is hurrying to get fit in time for Saturday’s game, while Fabian Schar, Joseph Willock, Jamaal Lascelles, Lewis Miley, and Sven Botman are out with injuries.
Brighton, on the other hand, arrives fresh from a victory over Aston Villa, secured by Joao Pedro’s goal. They now face a more formidable opponent at St. James’ Park. Given Newcastle’s strong form in the Premier League, the home team is favored to win. Brighton is handicapped by the absence of Adam Lallana, Kaoru Mitoma, Jan Paul van Hecke, Pervis Estupinan, Evan Ferguson, and Jack Hinshelwood, all sidelined due to injuries.
The match is anticipated to conclude with a 2-1 win for Newcastle United.
