Failing to acquire any points in their 3-1 home defeat by West Ham United will have left the Brighton & Hove Albion squad feeling a little deflated.  They achieved 79% possession in that match and had 25 strikes at goal, with 10 hitting the target, up against West Ham United's tally of 12 efforts at goal, 7 of which were on target.  

While they have been strong in attack with 14 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 9 at the other end which has led to points being dropped.  Their goal scoring streak now stands at 19 games in a row, but they have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home games.  

Solly March will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for Brighton & Hove Albion.

There will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Newcastle United players having failed to take any points away from their recent 2-1 home defeat at the hands of Liverpool.  In that game they had 60% possession and managed 23 attempts on goal, with 8 on target, compared to Liverpool who had 9 attempts and 4 on target.  

They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 11 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 6 and seen valuable points lost.  They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.  

It's been a mixed run of form for Newcastle recently with 2 wins, 2 draws, and 2 defeats in their last 6 games.  

With 4 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league, Callum Wilson has given the travelling Newcastle United support something to shout about on the road.
