Sven Botman starts and Matt Targett missing - Official Newcastle team to start vs Brighton

The teams are out ahead of today's clash with Brighton as Newcastle United look to make it back-to-back wins on the second weekend of the new Premier League season.

Eddie Howe has made one change, as a knock to Matt Targett - who is not in the squad - sees Sven Botman come in for his Premier League debut.

Here's the team in full, which does feature Nick Pope - despite rumours last night that he was an injury doubt:

(4-3-3): Pope - Trippier, Schar, Botman, Burn - Willock, Guimaraes, Joelinton - Almiron, Wilson, Saint-Maximin.

SUBS: Dubravka, Dummett, Lascelles, Ritchie, Manquillo, Wood, Murphy, Anderson, S.Longstaff

So, it looks like Dan Burn will start at left-back against his former club, with Botman coming in alongside Fabian Schar.

Elsewhere, we are unchanged from the side that beat Nottingham Forest 2-0 last Saturday, with Brighton also making no changes to the team that won at Old Trafford.

Brighton XI: Sánchez; Veltman, Dunk, Webster; March, Groß, Mac Allister, Caicedo, Trossard; Lallana; Welbeck
