4-3-3 Newcastle United Predicted Lineup Against Brighton & Hove Albion:

Defense:

Nick Pope is expected to start in goal, offering reliable shot-stopping and composure. Kieran Trippier lines up at right-back, providing leadership and pinpoint crosses. Schär and Burn form a strong, physical center-back duo, solid in the air and tough in the tackle. On the left, Livramento’s pace and attacking instincts offer width and energy. This unit will aim to stay compact and disciplined to counter Brighton’s fluid, possession-heavy style.

Midfield:

Bruno Guimarães will anchor the midfield, using his vision and defensive awareness to control tempo and disrupt Brighton’s rhythm. Sandro Tonali adds energy and range, covering ground and linking play. Joe Willock brings forward runs and physical presence, giving Newcastle thrust on the break. Together, they’ll look to press high, win second balls, and transition quickly—key against Brighton’s high-press approach.

Attack:

Up front, Alexander Isak leads the line with sharp movement and clinical finishing, ideal for exploiting space behind Brighton’s advanced defense. Jacob Murphy offers width and work rate on the right, while Harvey Barnes adds direct dribbling and pace on the left. Their speed and interplay could unsettle Brighton’s back line, especially if Isak can capitalize on any defensive lapses.
