Liverpool FC have beaten Newcastle United to the signing of Eintracht Frankfurt striker Hugo Ekitike. St. James Park thought they had a deal lined up for the 23-year-old Frenchman, but apparently Liverpool have "hijacked it." Don't you love how media use the word "hijack" whenever a new team comes in and gets the player that a club had been pursuing?

The Seagulls have already won 1-0 at St. James Park (in a Premier League fixture) earlier this season, so they will probably strongly fancy their chances on Sunday in FA Cup competition. … [Read more...] about Newcastle United Starting XI Prediction vs Brighton

Newcastle United Starting XI Prediction at Everton FC
Newcastle United came out of the gates hot, but then reality crept back in. The unbeaten start ended with a decisive 3-1 loss to Fulham a couple weekends ago, but the Geordies rebounded nicely to manage a home draw against the three-time defending league champions in Manchester City.
