Following the international break, Newcastle restart their Premier League programme by welcoming the Seagulls to Gallowgate on Saturday.

It's an old-fashioned 3pm kick-off. 

Team: Kieran Trippier has reportedly suffered a hamstring injury that will keep him out until early December.

There's optimism that Callum Wilson and Alexander Isak could return, along with fellow absentee Lewis Miley - the youngster spotted in training this week.

Jamaal Lascelles and Sven Botman remain out while Joelinton remains one booking away from an automatic one game suspension.

Coral rate this match as follows:

NUFC win 1/1

BHAFC: Adam Webster, James Milner, Matt O'Reilly and Joao Pedro will all miss out on the visit to Tyneside.

Jan Paul van Hecke and Georginio Rutter are doubtful.

Solly March, Simon Adringa and former Magpie James Milner could return after injury. 

Albion have won one, drawn one and lost the other one of their three PL away games to date. 

Their 3-0 success at Everton was followed by a 1-1 draw at Arsenal and a 2-4 reverse at Chelsea. 

Referee: Peter Bankes - a second Toon appointment of the season for the Lancashire-based whistler, following the 1-3 loss at Fulham in September.

Following a Premier League meeting at Stamford Bridge the previous Sunday, The Magpies and The Blues face each other again in a Carabao Cup Fourth Round tie at Gallowgate on Wednesday 30th October.

It's a 7.45pm start and live on Sky Sports+.

At stake is a place in the Quarter Finals of the competition, scheduled for w/c Monday December 16th.

The visitors were allocated a maximum of 4,883 places - just over 1,600 more than set aside for PL fixtures. It's unclear where those additional seats are located.

1988 Arthur Cox turned down the Newcastle Manager's position recently vacated by Willie McFaul, preferring to stay at Derby County rather than have a second stint at SJP.

An unhappy 58th birthday for ex-Toon boss Jim Smith, as his Rams side were twice undone by Solano in the opening stages - Paul Dalglish also hitting the woodwork.

Solano missed three good chances himself though and when Deon Burton bundled the ball home off via future Derby defender Andy Griffin, the final stages of the game were rather less comfortable than desired.

United's unbeaten run was extended to seven games, but the chance to move up into fourth was missed.

A dominant first half brought just one goal from a Craig Bellamy header, Lee Bowyer having had an earlier effort disallowed.  

Defensive frailties again proved our undoing: Andy O'Brien's hesitance letting Kevin Lisbie in - only for Stephen Carr to nip in and hit it goalward back to O'Brien, who was unable to prevent the ball crossing the line.

A bizarre game at SJP ended with Newcastle on the wrong end of a heaviest home defeat in over six years - although the score was 1-1 four minutes from the end of normal time.

Karl Darlow saved a 58th minute penalty from Bruno Fernandes, by which time the hosts could have been ahead again - Callum Wilson denied moments earlier by David de Gea.

However, a trio of emphatic late finishes made the scoreline look more one-sided than it should have been, ending Newcastle's four game unbeaten run in all competitions.

The post-Ashley era at Newcastle began memorably, but mainly for the wrong reasons as the new owners were left in no doubt about the size of their task.

But for a few hours before kick-off and the first few minutes of the match, they got a great glimpse of what could be possible.

A dream start saw Callum Wilson head home within two minutes before reality swiftly  intervened after two quick Spurs strikes.

Things deteriorated further as a fan suffered a medical emergency, the visitors scored again and Jonjo Shelvey was red-carded.

The scoreline flattered Steve Bruce's side in his 1,000th game as a manager but thankfully it was to be his last in charge of United.
