Despite reaching next month's Carabao Cup final as they seek to end a 70-year wait for a trophy, Newcastle have had a quietly terrible February with three defeats in four Premier League outings after the 2-0 midweek reverse at table-toppers Liverpool.
His side having squeezed through the FA Cup fourth round against Birmingham, Eddie Howe will be looking for a restorative performance and result and will be encouraged that 21-goal top scorer Alexander Isak could return after missing the Wednesday trip to Anfield. With just two wins in their past 15 meetings with the Seagulls, the Magpies need to come up with a new plan.
It isn't just their stellar recent record against Newcastle that will give Brighton confidence going into this game. Seeking their first major honor, the 1982/83 runners-up have won five of their last seven Premier League games after goals from Joao Pedro and Danny Welbeck saw off Bournemouth in midweek.
That they have put a 7-0 loss at Nottingham Forest in the middle of that run is testament to boss Fabian Hurzeler's motivational abilities. The Seagulls backed up a 4-0 third round win at Norwich with a pulsating 2-1 defeat of Chelsea in the fourth round, with Georginio Rutter and the in-form Kaoru Mitoma on target.
