Brighton boss Graham Potter has lavished praise on former Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe.
The latter is being linked with the vacant Newcastle United job over the past few days, following Villarreal coach Unai Emery's rejection of the job.
Potter believes that Howe has the qualities to succeed in the Premier League with Newcastle, but believes his side will face a tough test against the Magpies at the weekend, even if they are managed by interim coach Graeme Jones.
Potter said at his pre-match press conference: "Eddie is a really experienced guy.
"He has been a fantastic Premier League manager.
"As to what Newcastle do I have no idea and I have not given it much thought.
"I have been concentrating on the team we are going to play against.
"A team that is fighting for the points, that is playing to their strengths, that is being led by Graeme Jones who I know well.
"I am looking forward to seeing him.
"And whatever Newcastle do is their business."
