Newcastle vs. Brighton: What the managers are saying

Eddie Howe, Newcastle

(via Newcastle)

"It is a huge competition. We know the importance of it - we don’t take it lightly.

"This will be a tough game. Brighton are in great form. This should be a really exciting cup tie.

"Their away form has been very strong. It will be a test for us, but one I am sure we can rise to."

Fabian Hurzeler, Brighton

(via BBC)

"The longer it goes on, the closer you get to the final. It is a chance to win something. We have to go all in and be ready to compete against Newcastle."

Newcastle vs. Brighton: Prediction

The Seagulls have been a thorn in Newcastle's side in recent years, with Brighton losing just twice in the last 15 meetings between these teams. A copy of the last match at St James' Park could be in the cards. 

Prediction: Newcastle 0-1 Brighton
