What channel is Brighton vs Newcastle on? TV info, live stream details, team news and more

It's quite simply one of the most important games of the Premier League season so far, but who will come out on top when Brighton & Hove Albion and Newcastle United get down to business?

As both sides prepare to enter their final 10 fixtures of the campaign, they hold a slight advantage on third-bottom Fulham, and two games in hand over them.

A victory for the Cottagers over Leeds on Friday would have seen them leapfrog the Magpies into 17th, but come kick-off at the Amex Stadium, the Magpies have a chance to pull five points clear of the relegation zone.

As things stand, the Seagulls are three points clear of danger on 29 points, while Newcastle and Fulham have 28 and 26 respectively heading into the run-in.

Here is everything you need to know ahead of tomorrow night's crunch relegation clash on the south coast.

What is the early Brighton vs Newcastle team news?

Miguel Almiron has handed Newcastle a huge injury boost ahead of kick-off against Brighton.

Missing since mid-February with a knee problem, the Paraguay international could return to the matchday squad tomorrow night - although manager Steve Bruce admits he is unlikely to start.

Allan Saint-Maximin (groin) and top-scorer Callum Wilson (hamstring) remain on the sidelines, but Wilson is nearing a first-team return, too.

As for fellow strugglers Brighton, wing-back Tariq Lamptey has already been ruled out for the rest of the season.

Solly March (knee) is another player who won't feature between now and the summer, having been forced off in a match-winning display against Liverpool.

However, there is better news elsewhere on the injury front for the Seagulls as Dan Burn, who was taken off during the priceless victory over Southampton last time out, could feature.
