Brighton vs Newcastle team news as Shelvey, Almiron and Murphy start

And Miguel Almiron was also back after a long stint on the bench.

The trio that went out included Sean Longstaff, Javier Manquillo and Ryan Fraser who has failed to impress after being brought in from the cold by Jones.

The other big decision saw Jones stick with Karl Darlow between the posts.

Jones had said before the game: “It’s about what is doing best for the club.

“That’s where the focus has been and the players have responded well.”
