Good afternoon and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE digital coverage of the Premier League clash between Brighton & Hove Albion and Newcastle United. Kick-off is at 17:30 GMT. Team news to follow...

PENALTY SHOUT! Trossard's quick footwork in the box tempts Ciaran Clark into a challenge and it looks as though he caught him. Lengthy VAR check ongoing...

Again, Newcastle pick the ball up in their own half and drive forward. This time is Allan Saint-Maximin who starts the move but Jonjo Shelvey loses the ball.

Isaac Hayden makes a run through the midfield but he was short of options going forward, and is dispossessed.

Newcastle loop in a cross which is half-cleared by Dunk who sends the ball up in the air, Robert Sanchez comes out to collect and makes a mess of it, but the referee blows for a free-kick after Wilson barged into him.

Brighton are clearly looking to utilise their wide men in Lamptey and Marc Cucurella, who look threatening when they get on the ball going forward.

Newcastle get forward for the first time and Callum Wilson had an attempt at goal after latching on to a cross at the near post, but his effort was blocked by Lewis Dunk.

Brighton have their first corner of the game, but Shane Duffy's header is once again comfortably collected by Darlow.

First chance of the game. Tariq Lamptey's first involvement as he puts in a cross but Leandro Trossard's header is straight at Karl Darlow.

We're underway!
