Comments:

League position: 16th This was now the fourth consecutive game in the Premier League that Newcastle United had made at least five changes to their starting line-up from the previous game. The Magpies avoided equalling their club record of six consecutive home league defeats which had stood since October 1953. They had now failed to score in five of their last six home games in the Premier League.

Comments:

League position: 12th This was the fourth goalless draw that Brighton and Hove Albion had been involved in so far in this Premier League season; a joint divisional high with West Bromwich Albion. The Seagulls had now failed to score in 11 of their 21 games so far in this Premier League season; a joint divisional high with Crystal Palace and Swansea City. They had now won only one of their last ten games in the Premier League and had scored one goal in their last six games in the competition.
