Graham Potter’s Brighton take on Eddie Howe’s Newcastle United today in a battle of two up-and-coming sides in the Premier League.
The two teams finished ninth and 11th in the league last year, with the Seagulls enjoying a strong start and finish to the season - whilst the Magpies collected the sixth most points in the league after the appointment of Howe, who replaced Steve Bruce at the helm.
Both sides also enjoyed fantastic starts to their 2022/23 campaign. Newcastle enjoyed a comfortable 2-0 win over newly promoted Nottingham Forest, with Fabian Schar scoring a stunner from long-range before Callum Wilson netted his opening goal of the campaign.
Brighton travelled to Old Trafford in Erik ten Hag’s first fixture in charge and spoiled the party, defeating Manchester United 2-1. Pascal Gross scored twice as the Seagulls upset the odds against the 20-time league winners.
