How both teams go into Newcastle vs Brighton
Newcastle have survived a couple of scares to reach this round of the FA Cup, coming from 1-0 down to beat League Two side Bromley 3-1 in round three before falling behind in the first minute against League One Birmingham before eventually winning 3-2 away. With the Magpies already in the final of the EFL Cup and chasing down a Champions League place, Eddie Howe may not hold the FA Cup in as high priority as usual, although he’ll still place big demands on his side.
Brighton have looked a little more comfortable to this point, beating Norwich City 4-0 in the third round before quickly coming from behind to beat Chelsea 2-1 at home.

Newcastle team news
Harvey Barnes and Sven Botman could be in action for this match, but it probably comes a little too early for Jamaal Lascelles, while Joelinton won’t return until after the March international break.
Brighton team news
Brighton will hope to have a host of players back for this match, including Ferdi Kadioglu and James Milner. However, Igor is out until the summer and is unlikely to play again this season.
Newcastle vs Brighton head-to-head
As mentioned, Brighton are unbeaten in their last three meetings with Newcastle, although the Magpies enjoyed a four-game unbeaten run of their own in this fixture prior to that.
