Eddie Howe knows he might have to send his two Brazilian stars Joelinton and Bruno Guimaraes back into another intense battle in the Premier League against Brighton & Hove Albion.
Without Sean Longstaff, Newcastle have looked vulnerable in midfield but Howe made a few midfield tweaks at Leeds in the 2-2 draw and got the job done as Joelinton formed a partnership with Bruno at Elland Road. Longstaff has been ruled out for the clash with the Seagulls meaning Howe may ask Joelinton and Bruno to hold the midfield again.
Against Leeds Joelinton made four interceptions while Bruno weighed in with three. Both are more than able to keep things together in the final three games if needs be.
