What is at stake for Brighton & Hove Albion vs. Newcastle United?

Despite dominating their last Premier League outing against Wolves, Brighton were only able to leave Molineux with a point, thanks to Jan Paul van Hecke's late equaliser. 

Having won each of their prior two matches, including a 3-1 victory over Chelsea, Fabian Hurzeler will be eager to return to winning ways against Newcastle, and three points could lift them as high as sixth depending on results elsewhere.

Meanwhile, Newcastle United have finally hit form after an underwhelming start to the season, with three wins in their last four heading into this one, and Eddie Howe will be looking for his side to make it three straight wins when they clash with the Seagulls. 

Given the Magpies also sit on nine points after seven matches played, Newcastle could similarly climb as high as sixth in the Premier League standings if they win and other results go their way.
