Brighton & Hove Albion are currently unbeaten in five meetings with Newcastle United, winning three of them.
In fact, since the pair were promoted from the EFL Championship together in 2017, the Magpies have won only two of 17 encounters with the Seagulls, failing to win any of their eight trips to Sussex.
Brighton vs Newcastle preview
These two clubs have near-identical records seven matches into this Premier League season, so will either add three precious points to their tally in Sussex? After an underwhelming start to the campaign, Newcastle United have started to find form of late, winning back-to-back games prior to the international break. A fortnight ago, the Magpies beat Nottingham Forest 2-0 on Tyneside, with Bruno Guimarães breaking the deadlock, before Nick Woltemade emphatically converted a penalty.
This was just their second Premier League victory of the season, but it did come after they'd claimed their biggest-ever Champions League victory, demolishing Royale Union Saint-Gilloise 4-0 in Brussels. Back in the league, all three of their away matches have finished goalless, the first team in English top-flight history to achieve this, so can Eddie Howe's team collect all three points this time?
As for Brighton & Hove Albion, they could only earn a draw with bottom of the table Wolves a fortnight ago; Jan Paul van Hecke's header four minutes from time pinching a point at Molineux. Fabian Hürzeler's team did memorably beat Chelsea 3-1 at Stamford Bridge a week earlier, while they're also yet to taste defeat at the Amex this season.
The Seagulls beat Manchester City in front of their own supporters in August, while they've also been held to draw by Fulham and Spurs, conceding late equalisers on both occasions, so their points tally could be so much higher. Even at this early stage, this could be a key clash between two teams with European aspirations, so will there be a winner by the South Coast on Saturday?

Brighton player to watch vs Newcastle
Yankuba Minteh never made an appearance for Newcastle, but scored against his former employers during both meetings with them last season. Having been on target against Gabon for Gambia in Nairobi last week, can he do damage to the Magpies again here?
Newcastle team news
Eddie Howe confirmed in his press conference on Friday that Yoane Wissa, Lewis Hall and Tino Livramento are sidelined, but that Joelinton and the fit again Jacob Ramsey are in contention.
Meantime, Malick Thiaw has quickly established himself as Sven Botman's first-choice centre-back partner, with Fabian Schär missing out. Similarly, Anthony Elanga and Anthony Gordon are set to continue in attack, the latter having scored his second international goal in Latvia on Tuesday.
Newcastle United predicted lineup vs Brighton & Hove Albion: (4-3-3): Pope; Trippier, Thiaw, Botman, Burn; Guimarães, Tonali, Joelinton; Elanga, Woltemade, Gordon.
Newcastle player to watch vs Brighton
Nick Woltemade has now scored four times for Newcastle, on target during each of their last three matches. Having bundled home his first senior goal for Germany against Northern Ireland in Belfast on Monday night, Woltemade will once again be a goal threat.
Brighton vs Newcastle prediction
This match could go either-way, with the pair level on points at kick off, and we're forecasting that will still be the case come the end of the afternoon: Brighton & Hove Albion 1-1 Newcastle United.
