Newcastle sweats on Alexander Isak’s fit after the striker missed the mid -week defeat from Liverpool in the league. Eddie Howe confirmed that this was not a long -term problem and insisted that he would play if he passed.
Callum Wilson will replace the Swede if he is not available despite suffering an eye cut, while Sven Botman and Joelinton have the opportunity to make a Howe Dani Detachment for a match.
The long -term absence of Jamaal Lascellles is still missing as it approaches a year aside.
Howe insisted on his side “to know the importance of” FA Cup, which implies that it is unlikely that many will rest for Brighton’s visit.
Newcastle predicted the VS Brighton (4-3-3) setup: Dubravka; Trippier, Schar, Burn, Hall; Guimaraes, Tonas, Miley; Gordon, Wilson, Barnes.
Brighton will continue on Sunday without the injured Lewis Dunk, who was joined by colleagues of defender Igor, Ferdi Kadioglu and Joel Veltman. Goalkeeper Jason Steele is also out, while James Milner is still not present in the middle of the field he has not played since August.
Hurzeler has hinted in changes in his initial lineup, admitting that there may be a need for fresh legs on Tyneside. German said that “must find a balance” between an experienced and well -left -handed team,
There could have been changes to the side that beat Bournemouth in the middle of the week, with Danny Welbeck, Jack Hinshelwood and Yasin Ayari potentially entered the fold.
Brighton predicted the VS Newcastle line (4-2-3-1): Verbruuggen; Hinshelwood, Van Hecke, Webster, Estupinan; Ayari, Wieffer; Minteh, Routter, mythomas; Welbeck.
The outcome of this could depend on the number of changes to both managers. Brighton’s victory in St. James earlier this season means that he will not be afraid to head for Tyneside, but he will face the almighty test.
The potential absence of Isaac could prove crucial in what Rollercoaster should be riding, and Brighton would boast a greater depth of attack, but both teams will imagine their chances of exploiting defense defects.
Brighton has won the last four matches on the bounce and could focus on the difficult thing – may need additional time to progress.
Prediction: Newcastle 2-3 Brighton (AET)
