Brighton will be without Davy Propper for their crucial home clash Newcastle on Saturday because of a hamstring problem. Propper is the only injury absentee for boss Chris Houghton who made six changes to the side which lost at Spurs in Tuesday but is likely to revert to the team which drew with Wolves for the visit of the Magpies.

Full-backs Bruno and Gaetan Bong could return in place of Martin Montoya and Bernardo, while Solly March, Jose Izquierdo and Anthony Knockaert, who is available again after serving his suspension, will be pushing Alireza Jahanbakhsh and Jurgen Locadia for a place on the wing.
Glenn Murray is likely to come back in for Florin Andone to lead the line up front. The Newcastle game is vital and a win would be a massive step towards safety. If Cardiff lose at Fulham earlier in the day Brighton would effectively be safe with a win. The last two games of the season for the Seagulls are away at Arsenal and home to Manchester City, so points against Newcastle look to be a must.
