THERE'S no Callum Wilson in the Newcastle squad to play Brighton, with Elliot Anderson replacing the striker in the only change to the team.

Eddie Howe says Wilson is feeling "a little bit of tightness", so didn't want to risk the striker.

Kieran Trippier is back on the bench after a nine-game absence because of a calf injury, with Tino Livramento keeping his place at right-back.

Anderson comes into the side and is likely to play in midfield, with Player of the Year Anthony Gordon supporting Alexander Isak.

Howe said of Wilson: "He's just not feeling not 100 per cent today. A little of tightness, it's not an injury as such."

There's one change to the Brighton team, with Julio Enciso replacing Joao Pedro.
