The new Premier League campaign continues this coming Saturday in a round four match between last season’s top six finishers Brighton and Newcastle United at The American Express Community Stadium.

Newcastle United could be excused for feeling a little down on their luck, as they find themselves on the 13th place in the league table with meagre three points as three rounds of the season are behind us. The opponents Brighton have fought their way to six points which leaves them sitting 6th in the Premier League table.

Brighton Form

In their last three matches, Brighton beat Luton by 4-1 and Wolverhampton by 1-4, before losing against West Ham by 1-3. Brighton claimed a middle-of-the-road three wins in their previous six matches on home soil in the Premier League. They also drew one and lost two, as they scored 11 and conceded 11 goals.

Qualification for an international tournament is the ideal scenario Brighton hope to accomplish by the end of the season, but everything needs to click for this to happen.

Newcastle United Form

Newcastle United have only one win in their last three matches, as they did beat Aston Villa by 5-1. Disappointment followed, going down 1-0 against Manchester City, and 1-2 against Liverpool. Newcastle United won twice, while also recording two draws, and two defeats in their last six away matches in the Premier League.
