Newcastle are back in Premier League action this afternoon, making the lengthy journey south to face Brighton. The Magpies will be full of confidence following impressive victories over Nottingham Forest and Union Saint-Gilloise before the international break.
Brighton themselves are on a decent run, having secured a win and a draw against Bournemouth and Chelsea, respectively, prior to the break.
Eddie Howe's men currently sit 11th in the table, but they might have one eye on Tuesday's Champions League showdown with Benfica, where Jose Mourinho brings his team to St James' Park.
When does Brighton vs Newcastle start?
Brighton host Newcastle on Saturday, October 18, with the match scheduled to kick off at 3pm.
The last time these two teams faced each other, it ended in a 1-1 draw, with former Newcastle star Alexander Isak salvaging a point for his side with an 89th-minute penalty.
The Seagulls claimed victory in the other encounter between the sides last season as Danny Welbeck bagged all three points at St James' Park with a goal in the 35th minute.

Unfortunately for UK fans, the match between Brighton and Newcastle won't be broadcast live by either Sky Sports or TNT Sports. Due to the 3pm blackout that all top-flight clubs must respect, matches kicking off at that time aren't shown on TV.
However, this isn't the case for fans abroad, as the blackout rule doesn't apply to supporters outside the UK. For those in the United States, the match can be watched live on NBC.
Post-match, Sky Sports will upload highlights on social media and YouTube. The game's key moments will also be featured on Match of the Day, airing at 10:30pm on Saturday night.
The BBC's flagship programme can also be watched on iPlayer afterwards.

Newcastle will be without Yoane Wissa, Lewis Hall and Tino Livramento. Jacob Ramsey is back from an ankle injury and Lewis Miley might be up for selection despite withdrawing from the England U21 squad due to a calf problem.
On the other hand, Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler has his own injury concerns. Joel Veltman and Kaoru Mitoma remain doubts after missing their last outing.
Brajan Gruda, Adam Webster, Jack Hinshelwood and Solly March will all be missing, but Diego Gomez should be fine after the knock he sustained for Paraguay in midweek.
