Confirmed NUFC team vs Brighton – Saint-Maximin back on the bench & Krafth starts again

Following our 2-0 win at Brentford last weekend, we face Brighton at St James’ Park today – bidding to beat the Seagulls for the very first time in the Premier League.

The team news has arrived ahead of the 3pm kick off, seeing us line up as follows:

STARTING 11: Dubravka – Krafth, Schar, Burn, Targett – Shelvey, Willock, Joelinton – Fraser, Wood, Murphy.

SUBS: Darlow, Dummett, Lascelles, Manquillo, Longstaff, Guimaraes Almiron, Gayle, Saint-Maximin.

So, Eddie Howe has named an unchanged side once again, seeing Krafth remain at right-back, Murphy start out wide and Burn keep his place against his former side.

Allan Saint-Maximin is back in the squad but only fit enough for the bench, with Bruno Guimaraaes made to wait once again.

Elsewhere, Kieran Trippier (foot), Callum Wilson (calf) and Matt Ritchie (knee) remain out with injuries.

Here’s the side Graham Potter has gone with for the visitors; who are without star centre-back Adam Webster for this one and have left Yves Bissouma and Neal Maupay on the bench:
