Newcastle United have two home games in which to secure their place in next season's Champions League - starting against Brighton and Hove Albion tonight. With Leicester to come to St James' Park on Monday, Eddie Howe and Co know they can take a giant step towards a confirmed top four place by beating the Seagulls this evening.
That's easier said than done, of course, with Brighton fresh from a 3-0 victory over Arsenal at the Emirates on Sunday. However, while Roberto de Zerbi's men were impressive in North London, that came after a 5-1 home defeat to Everton last week - so United will be hoping it's that Brighton that shows up tonight.
This game was postponed due to Newcastle's participation in the Carabao Cup final, and is the game in hand they hold over Liverpool. A win tonight means Jurgen Klopp's Reds must realistically beat Aston Villa on Saturday to have any chance of catching the Magpies. Here's all you need to know.
