Chris Sutton is expecting a high-scoring thriller when Newcastle United host Brighton
Both teams have plenty to play for as Eddie Howe's men, who currently sit third in the Premier League, are trying to qualify for next season's Champions League and the Seagulls, who are sixth, are looking to get into Europe
Sutton has predicted a 3-3 draw. He believes Newcastle's attacking style may play into Brighton's hands
"This game could be anything really - Brighton's last two results have seen them lose 5-1 at home to Everton and then go to Arsenal and beat them 3-0, but they are always so good to watch. The Seagulls are going for a Europa League spot while Newcastle are trying to get over the line in the race for the top four,"
"Liverpool's winning run has put the Magpies under a bit of pressure but they are usually pretty good at home - they lost to Arsenal last time they played at St James' Park but that was only their second home defeat of the season and I don't see them being beaten again here.
It should be a really good game. Newcastle play on the front foot and Brighton love playing teams who come at them, so I can see there being plenty of chances and a few goals. It certainly won't be a repeat of the 0-0 scoreline when these two teams met in August."
