RAFAEL BENITEZ has named an unchanged starting line-up for Newcastle United's Premier League game at Brighton.
The Magpies manager has stuck with the side that claimed a 2-1 win over Stoke in the club's last outing.
That means Jonjo Shelvey and Dwight Gayle remaining on the substitutes' bench, with the former having failed to dislodge either Mikel Merino, Isaac Hayden or Ayoze Perez from the starting line-up.
Gayle is overlooked in favour of Joselu, with the Spaniard remaining in the side despite missing a number of chances in last weekend's win over the Potters.
BRIGHTON (4-4-1-1): Ryan; Bruno, Duffy, Dunk, Suttner; Knockaert, Propper, Stephens, March; Gross; Hemed.
Subs: Krul (gk), Huenemeier, Murphy, Izquierdo, Schelotto, Rosenior, Brown.
NEWCASTLE (4-2-3-1): Elliot; Yedlin, Lascelles, Clark, Mbemba; Hayden, Merino; Ritchie, Perez, Atsu; Joselu.
Subs: Darlow (gk), Gamez, Manquillo, Diame, Murphy, Shelvey, Gayle.
