Newcastle and Brighton meet for an all-Premier League FA Cup clash at St James’ Park.
The Magpies are chasing that elusive piece of silverware under Eddie Howe, and would love to add to their successful cup run in the Carabao this season.
Brighton fans are dreaming of another trip to Wembley, and Fabian Hurzeler’s side are certainly capable of putting in a performance that can see them progress to the quarter-finals.
It’s anyone’s game, and it should be a spectacle between two attacking teams on Tyneside.
Read on to see how both teams line-up.
