Newcastle United 1-0 Brighton LIVE
Hello and welcome to our live blog coverage of Newcastle United vs Brighton & Hove Albion from St James' Park. It's the penultimate home game of what has been an excellent season for Eddie Howe and Co, and they are looking to sign off with in style.
Wins tonight and against Leicester on Monday will guarantee Champions League football next season in what will be an extraordinary achievement. Brighton have European hopes of their own, of course, and showed their credentials with an impressive 3-0 victory at Arsenal on Sunday.
However, that came on the back of a 5-1 home defeat to Everton, so Newcastle will be hoping to catch them on an off day. Howe must again decide how his side will line up, with Alexander Isak moving to a role behind Callum Wilson during the 2-2 draw with Leeds United last Saturday. A repeat of that formation could see a start for Allan Saint-Maximin or Anthony Gordon, while Jacob Murphy looks set to miss out with injury, meaning Miguel Almiron is likely to retain his place.
We'll have all the latest from the United boss as it happens this morning.
