    Get anything out of him in this brief window he isn't crocked and start him for this one. Unchanged team I guess, I assume Joelinton won't start yet.

    Do we go back to 4-3-3 here or stick with 4-4-2 and be a bit more physical.

    The reason I ask about the formation thing is they destroyed us at their spot doing a 4-3-3 and we had Bruno Joelinton and Tonali in the midfield 3.

    With Gordon Isak and Miggy up top.

    We more or less had a full strength side out.

    Having said that they have a lot more injuries than we do now.

    I say 4-4-2 and keep the same side.

    Brighton & Hove Albion

    Brighton boss Roberto de Zerbi confirmed that Joao Pedro has picked up an ankle injury and is unsure if he will feature again this season: "I am sad for that because Joao is important for us especially in this moment when Julio Enciso and Ansu Fati are not at the top of their level of condition."

    On who could return for Saturday: "Tariq Lamptey, but he can't start game. Maybe [he can play] one part of the game, we will see tomorrow if he can come on the bench or not."

    On players who could be available again for pre-season: "Solly March, no. Jack Hinshelwood, I think so. Karou Mitoma the same. James Milner the same. Pervis Estupinan I think no and the others we will see, step by step and week by week."

    Brighton boss Roberto de Zerbi on facing Newcastle: "St James' Park is the best stadium in the Premier League. Last season is still in my head because of the incredible atmosphere and now they are playing well.

    "They are in a good moment but we want to follow in the same way we play against Villa at home.

    "I think Newcastle and Brighton, we have paid a big big price [with injuries]. Maybe I speak for myself, but maybe we weren’t ready to compete in three or four competitions and we suffer a lot of injuries and Newcastle as well.

    "With Joelinton, Almiron, Isak and Wilson in good condition I think they can fight for Champions League and qualify because their level is higher than the position they are in at the minute."

    On expecting Newcastle to be on the front foot: "Yes, because it is their DNA.

    "They have fantastic players, their midfield scores a lot of goals. They are good with the ball they play with two full-backs and very offensive. The DNA of Newcastle is to score goals and score one more than opponent."

    I think they'll be keeping Joelinton fresh to smash the **** out of the Salford Reds

    I lost access to my old one. I can’t reset my password because I don’t have access to my old email address.

    I don’t have access to it. It was an old employer email address.

    So I didn’t know how to reset my password.
