Paul Merson states his prediction for Brighton vs Newcastle United

Paul Merson has given his prediction for the upcoming clash between Brighton and Newcastle United. 

The Seagulls are currently sitting in 6th place in the league table following their two wins and one defeat. The Magpies, meanwhile, are 13th in the top division after recording one win and two losses. 

The two sides will be looking to have a successful game in their hopes for the top-four finish, though Merson predicts they will share points at Falmer Stadium on Saturday. 

"I can see plenty of goals in this game. Brighton have to make their possession count and be wary of the threat that Newcastle United possess on the counter," the pundit said on Sportkeeda. 

"The Seagulls play some great football under Roberto de Zerbi. If Ansu Fati does join them, it'll be a great deal for all parties involved and it will make them even stronger in attack.

"It also shows how far Brighton have come as a team. Fati is a youngster from Barcelona who was widely regarded as one of the brightest prospects in the game not long ago."

Paul Merson's prediction: Brighton & Hove Albion 2 - 2 Newcastle United
