Newcastle United's push for the top-six faces another major test when they host Brighton and Hove Albion at St. James' Park in the Premier League this Saturday afternoon.
The Magpies are currently sitting sixth in the table with 56 points and have three games remaining going into this clash, but they are still four points off fifth-placed Tottenham, who are riding a four-game losing streak.
Brighton, meanwhile, sit in 11th place and have not had a great season in comparison to their last. They also won 1-0 at home against Aston Villa last weekend, ending a six-game losing drought in the Premier League. Even though they are out of European contention, they will be looking to end the season on a high.
