Confirmed Newcastle team v Brighton announced – Burn, Bruno, Isak, Gordon all start

The confirmed Newcastle team v Brighton has now been announced.

Newcastle United looking to build on recent form of four wins in their last five Premier League matches.

Eddie Howe’s side also hoping to make it 19 out of 19 when it comes to home matches this season, in terms of scoring one or more goals in each of them.

With nine goals in their last two home games (Tottenham and Sheffield United) and four at Burnley last weekend, every hope of more goals today…

Eddie Howe’s team knowing a win would guarantee staying top six after this weekend.

Newcastle United team v Brighton:

Dubravka, Livramento, Krafth, Burn, Hall, Longstaff, Bruno, Anderson, J Murphy, Gordon, Isak

So just the one change.

IN

Anderson

OUT

Wilson

Subs:

Pope, Dummett, Joelinton, Ritchie, Barnes, Almiron, White, A Murphy, Trippier

Great to see Kieran Trippier back in the squad and a strong bench.

Though as you no doubt have noticed, Callum Wilson absent altogether.

Eddie Howe explaining why Callum Wilson is missing:

“He is just not feeling 100 per cent today.

“It is a little bit of tightness but not an injury as such.”

Brighton starting eleven:

Verbruggen, Igor Julio, Webster, Dunk, Enciso, Gilmour, Gross, Welbeck, Adingra, Veltman, Buonanotte
