Brighton v Newcastle United predicted team: how should Graeme Jones set up his team?

He's named two unchanged starting XI's in the two games he's taken caretaker charge of Newcastle United, but is Graeme Jones set to change things up for the trip to Brighton.

Newcastle's set up was cautious at Crystal Palace and even more so back on Tyneside for the visit of Chelsea. It yielded one point.

With this expected to be Jones' last game in sole charge of the team, will he mix up his selection on the south coast?

Jonjo Shelvey, Joe Willock and Miguel Almiron are yet to start for Jones and certainly the willingness of the latter two to press the opposition defenders might force their way into the interim bosses' thinking when he submits his team sheet at 4.30pm today.

ChronicleLive have submitted our predicted line-up, but how would you set United up for this game?

Brighton haven't won in the league since beating Leicester 2-1 at home on 19 September, but have only lost two of their ten Premier League games and find themselves in eight position in the league.

Newcastle meanwhile are already six points away from safety in 19th and urgently need to close the gap to give their new manager a fighting chance of avoiding relegation.
