Any fears that Brighton would struggle this season after losing two key players — Yves Bissouma to Spurs and Marc Cucurella to Chelsea — were quickly quelled when the Seagulls found themselves 2-0 up before halftime at Old Trafford. Manchester United did pull one back in the second half, but Graham Potter’s men held on for all three points.
Brighton finished last season with their best ever EPL points total, and will be looking to surpass that this season. And after such an impressive opening weekend result, there’s plenty of optimism going into the side’s first game of the season at the AMEX Stadium. The atmosphere inside the arena should be raucous, and Potter’s men will be looking to put one of their top 10-chasing rivals to the sword.
Newcastle also enjoyed victory on the opening weekend, with a comfortable 2-0 win over newly promoted Nottingham Forest at St James’ Park. In truth, the Magpies should have won by more, but the wastefulness of Miguel Almiron and Allan Saint-Maximin continues to be a problem. Fresh attacking recruits are expected in the final weeks of the transfer window, but any new signings won’t have arrived on Tyneside in time for this fixture.
Brighton have a very strong record against Newcastle in the Premier League, having only lost once in 10 meetings, but this is likely to be a closely contested fixture regardless. These sides are expected to compete for a top 10 place all season, so a victory could prove important even at this early stage of the season.
Here's how they line up:
Brighton: Sanchez, Veltman, Dunk, Webster, Gross, Mac Allister, Caicedo, March, Lallana, Trossard, Welbeck
Newcastle: Pope, Tripper, Schar, Botman, Burn, Willock, Guimaraes, Joelinton, Almiron, Wilson, Saint-Maximin
