Chelsea remain big-spending, Manchester United's latest rebuild continues and both Tottenham and Newcastle will expect improvements this year - yet it was Aston Villa who snared fourth last term.

Newcastle win a foul in a central-right position inside the Brighton half. Trippier stands over it as the delivery into the box seems to be the move. He actually rolls to Gordon to whip in, but Barnes is left chasing it to the left byline as it's a little too powerful.

Isak skips forward and finds Barnes on the right. The winger tries to replicate what Minteh did in the first period, yet his whipped effort is straight down the throat of Verbruggen who does well to cling on.

Newcastle's free-kick is worked into the Brighton box before Wieffer can get it away. This may be his final action, as Hurzeler gets Lamptey ready to replace the stand-in right-back. Willock then drives down the left and skips away. Baleba tackles well.
