Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe is wary going to an in-form Brighton tomorrow.

Brighton host Newcastle on the back of their opening day win at Manchester United.

Howe said: "They're a very unique team. When you play them you have a huge challenge on your hands.

"Tactically I think they're excellent - I think Graham [Potter] has done an amazing job. This is a big challenge for us and we need to respond to it."

Howe also confirmed Jonjo Shelvey faces 12 weeks out with a hamstring injury.

"It was quite a complex one. We had a number of scans & opinions. He's had an operation and we expect him to be out for around 12 weeks.

"He was very disappointed. A real shame for him and for us but he's on the road to recovery."
