AROUND THE BACK
Newcastle were the clean sheet kings at the end of 2022 but they've struggled to keep sides out since.
That hasn't stopped them winning, but St James' Park isn't the fortress it was between September and January.
That said, they're pinging it around the back nicely now. Confident. They were 1-0 behind inside 5 mins against Leeds last week...

Brighton get us underway!

TWO TOP SIDES
Five minutes until kick-off.
High hopes for this one.
These are two teams that have defied the regular 'big six'. Newcastle and Brighton both deserve big praise for what they've achieved this season, and they've played the right way too. Plenty of goals, lots of attacking football.
I know the reverse was a 0-0 but this could be a cracker with so much attacking talent on the pitch.

FANTASY FOOTBALL
Of course, many of you will have big stakes in this as fantasy football leagues across the country draw to a close.
I'm not biased, but I do have Tripper, Burn, Joelinton and Welbeck today...

LAST TIME OUT
These two drew 0-0 back in August, right at the beginning of the season before we had a King and before Messi was a World Cup winner.
Some goals today please.

TOP FOUR
It's what they want. Newcastle looked a guarantee for top four but some iffy results and a resurgent Liverpool have thrown that into a bit of doubt.
They need a win today and have a full strength side out with Isak and Wilson on the pitch!
18:52
MACALLISTER BENCHED
The big news is that Brighton's MacAllister is benched. In fact, Colwill and Ferguson have also dropped to the bench with Van Hecke, Buonanotte, and Welbeck coming into the start XI.
