Newcastle supporters think Eddie Howe should make two changes from the side that swept aside Brentford last weekend. The Magpies executed a flawless performance to climb four points clear of the relegation zone, with some suggesting a surge towards the top half could be on the cards.
One of the key talking points ahead of the clash is whether Toon talisman Allan Saint-Maximin will make an anticipated return from a calf injury. Howe revealed at his pre-match press conference that the maverick winger is back on Tyneside after a trip to France for rehabilitation but said he must pass a late fitness test to have any chance of playing.
That did not stop Newcastle fans from naming Saint-Maximin in their team to face Brighton at the expense of Jacob Murphy, who has started the last two fixtures. Supporters are also calling for Javier Manquillo to be brought back into the side following his return from injury.
