Brighton and Newcastle will both be looking to bounce back from defeats last weekend when they meet at the Amex Stadium in the late kick-off on Saturday.
Brighton made a fantastic start to the new campaign, registering back-to-back 4-1 victories over Luton and Wolves. They were brought back down to earth last time out, however, as a counter-attacking masterclass from West Ham saw Brighton beaten 3-1 at the Amex Stadium.
Roberto De Zerbi will want to see a response from his players, as will Eddie Howe. Newcastle lost in particularly painful circumstances in gameweek three, conceding two late goals to the 10 men of Liverpool. That 2-1 defeat followed a 1-0 loss to Manchester City, leaving Newcastle stuck on three points.
The fixture computer has not been kind to the Magpies early on, however, and this is another tough test for Howe's men.
Kick-off is at 5.30pm BST. Make sure you know how to watch the Premier League wherever you are.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Premier League football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a Premier League fixture, then you won't be able to watch on your domestic streaming service as usual. The broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!) and blocks you from watching it. You can use a VPN to get around that, though, without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and will let you watch. And all the info going between is entirely encrypted, anonymous and safe – and that's a result.
There are plenty of good-value options out there. For the Premier League, FourFourTwo currently recommends:
