Brighton play host Newcastle United on Saturday evening as they look to edge further away from the Premier League relegation places.
With only three games left, the Seagulls currently sit 17th with 34 points, three ahead of fellow strugglers Cardiff who also have a significantly worse goal difference.
Brighton also have yet to concede a Premier League goal to Newcastle in three matches, something they will hope continues this weekend to ensure them at least one more point in their fight to stay up.
The visitors have questions over Rafa Benitez’s future hanging over their heads but have 10 points from their last six league fixtures and will harbour hopes of a second successive top-half finish.
Ayoze Perez has scored six of Newcastle’s last nine league goals, is one of the form men in the division and will be aiming to inflict more misery on Brighton come Saturday.
