Brighton & Hove Albion are going north to see the long journey north to see on Sunday afternoon in the fifth round of the FA Cup in Newcastle United.

Brighton reached the Semis of the FA Cup in 2022/23, but fell qualified to punishments, with the team of Fabian Hurzeler wanted to go one step further. The trip to St. James’ Park will have a powerful challenge, but the south coast team already cost victory this season at the event location in the Premier League.

Newcastle sweats over Alexander Isak’s fitness after the striker missed the defeat against Liverpool in the league. Eddie Howe has confirmed that it is not a long -term problem and insisted that he would play when it fits.
Callum Wilson will replace the Swedes if he is not available, even though he has a cut in his eye, while Sven Botman and Joelinton have the chance to make the matchday squad.
Long -term absence of Jamaal Lascelles is still missing when he approaches on the side for a year.
Howe insisted that his page knows “the importance” of the FA Cup, which means that he will probably not rest many for Brighton’s visit.
Newcastle predicted Lineup vs Brighton (4-3-3): Dubravka; Trippier, crowd, burn, hall; Guimaraes, Tonali, Miley; Gordon, Wilson, Barnes.
Brighton will continue on Sunday without the injured Lewis Dunk, who is connected by the defenders Igor, Ferdi Kadioglu and Joel Veltman on the sidelines. The backup goalkeeper Jason Steele is also on the road, while James Milner is still absent in midfield after having not played since August.
Hurzeler has indicated to make changes to his starting line -up and admits that it may need fresh legs on Tyneside. The German said he had to “find” the balance between an experienced and well -rested squad.
There could be changes from the team that defeated the week in Bournemouth, with people like Danny Welbeck, Jack Hinshelwood and Yasin Ayari, who may be in the wrinkle.
Brighton forecast Lineup VS Newcastle (4-2-3-1): Bugge; Hinshelwood, van Hecke, Webster, Estupinan; Ayari, Wieffer; Minth, remotter, witha; Welbeck.
The result of this could depend on the number of changes from both managers. Brighton’s victory in St. James’ Park at the beginning of this season means that they won’t be afraid to go to Tyneside, but they will be faced with an almighty test.
The potential lack of Isak could prove to be crucial in a roller coaster ride, with Brighton has a major depth of attack, but both teams will imagine their chances of taking advantage of defensive defects.
Brighton has won her last four games on the go and could suffer a close matter – maybe an extension must be necessary to make progress.
