Eddie Howe’s Newcastle United looks to stretch its Premier League unbeaten run to eight when it meets an out-of-form Brighton and Hove Albion at St. James’ Park (watch live, 10am ET Saturday online via Peacock Premium).
Brighton has lost three-straight matches and has only two wins since the calendar turned to 2022. Graham Potter’s team is still struggling to produce goals and has a 277-minute scoreless drought.

The Seagulls, however, still live 12 points clear of the bottom three, as Newcastle’s hot streak has been joined by good results for other teams near the bottom of the table. The Magpies have 25 points, just four ahead of 18th-place Burnley.
Newcastle hasn’t beaten Brighton since 2017, when the two sides were in the Championship. A result Saturday would make it 10-straight without a Magpies win over the Seagulls.
