Brighton and Hove Albion need this one.
The Seagulls hosts steady Newcastle United at the Amex Stadium on Saturday, when ex-Magpies boss Chris Hughton hopes to move one step closer to avoiding Premier League relegation (Watch live at 12:30 p.m. ET on NBC and online via NBCSports.com).
[ STREAM: Brighton v. Newcastle ]
Newcastle doesn’t give up a ton of chances, and Brighton hasn’t been capitalizing on theirs. The now relegation-threatened Seagulls have not scored in 701 minutes between the Premier League and FA Cup.
The Magpies have won two-straight but are without Miguel Almiron, who has unlocked defenses for Ayoze Perez and Salomon Rondon. Can that help Brighton get a big point or three?
