Brighton/Newcastle - Thursday 5/18
Both teams have something to play for. Newcastle desperately needs this game to stay in the Champions League chase. Man U and Liverpool are right behind them. The Leeds draw last week certainly didn't help. Brighton is coming off their huge win against Arsenal, and I think Brighton's scheme may give Newcastle problems. Both teams are really aggressive, and like to hold the ball. The defense on both sides will look to attack and come up the field. Newcastle hasn't had a clean sheet in 8 games, and the way Brighton scores the ball, it's going to be hard for Newcastle to put them away. Brighton is a great team, and I think the books are taking the Everton game into effect too much. It's going to be a heavy scoring match, with both teams definitely scoring. I'm going to play Brighton on the ML. Newcastle is floundering lately and I think Brighton's style of play is going to be too much.
