Newcastle United's Champions League fate remains firmly in their own hands and they can ensure they have a healthy buffer in the top four with victory over Brighton & Hove Albion on Thursday night.
The Magpies won the corresponding fixture 2-1 last season in a fixture that put them on track for Premier League survival. But so much has changed since that narrow win over the Seagulls last March.
Relegation battles have been swapped for a European push, but Eddie Howe has maintained the same cool outlook during both different situations. Newcastle will face a Brighton team who have just picked up an outstanding away win at Arsenal on Super Sunday.
