It does not have a glamour tag on it, but I am really interested to see how they will both go about it. Steve Bruce has done a decent job so far and he is trying to ease the tension between him and the fans, who will expect their side to win this match.
It is a golden opportunity for these players to help Bruce slide into a decent position. Joelinton will find his feet, while Miguel Almiron is playing on the edge of games and has been tame at times - it is time for him to fire.
Brighton started the season superbly, but then what has Graham Potter's style been thereafter? Their back three is always consistent in what they give you, but Newcastle will find ways to exploit it.
