What to expect from Newcastle and Brighton and Hove Albion.
Newcastle is enjoying a solid return to the Premier League after a one-year detour to the Championship.
Five matches into the season and the Magpies are in the top four of the Premier League with nine points, just four back of league leaders Manchester City and Manchester United.
All nine of those points have come in their last three matches, which were wins against West Ham, Swansea and Stoke.
Their highest goal producer has, surprisingly, been a defender in Jamaal Lascelles. His two goals this season match his previous output in two prior Premier League campaigns.
Brighton, on the other hand, looks as though they are preparing for a relegation battle with four points through their first five matches in the Premier League.
This is the first time ever that Brighton is in the Premier League and just the fifth season that the Seagulls, established in 1901, are competing in England’s top flight.
The two sides played each other last year twice in the Championship with Newcastle winning both times.
