Brighton boss Roberto de Zerbi admits a win is needed tonight.
The Seagulls need victory to maintain their hopes of European qualification.
De Zerbi said, "[Newcastle head coach] Eddie Howe is doing an incredible job and they deserve to play in the Champions League. They are a very strong team. I think it's a very tough game but not just for Brighton but for every team. But we are fighting for our history and target and if we want to reach it we have to make historic results. To reach an incredible target, you have to win incredible games.
For me it's an honour to play in their stadium. I'm looking forward to playing because the passion of their fans is some of the best of football, but for sure we play to win.
Can we repeat Arsenal? Yes, it's our target, to play another big game in the same way we played at Arsenal. The big teams play in the same way after three, four, seven days. We have to be ready to forget the last game and start with a clear head."
On needing two wins from four to secure European football, De Zerbi also said: It's important because we can decide our own destiny and future. It's not so easy because we have to win two games and we will play against three big teams, Newcastle, Manchester City and Aston Villa, and we will play against Southampton, which I think will be the most difficult game."
