Brighton vs Newcastle - Prediction, kick-off time, TV, live stream, team news, h2h

Newcastle United travel to Brighton on Saturday as the Premier League returns.

Eddie Howe’s side signed off for the international break in good form after wins over Union Saint-Gilloise and Nottingham Forest in the Champions League and Premier League respectively.

It left Newcastle United 11^th in the Premier League table and they will hope to climb even further now the team are fully settled after a dramatic summer transfer window.

Still, the Magpies have struggled away at Brighton over the years.

Indeed, they haven’t won there since both teams were promoted from the Championship in 2017.

With that in mind, here’s everything you need to know.
