This was the fourth time that Brighton have drawn 0-0 in the Premier League this season, a joint-league-high alongside West Bromwich Albion.

In fact, this was the 11th time that Brighton have failed to score in 21 Premier League games this season; the most in the competition level with Crystal Palace and Swansea City.

Newcastle made seven changes to their starting XI in this match (from their last game vs Man City) - this is the most that a side has made in a Premier League game this season.

This is the fourth successive Premier League game that Newcastle have made at least five changes to their starting line-up from the previous game.

What's next?

It's a quick turnaround for Newcastle who are in action on 1 January, travelling to Stoke for a 15:00 kick-off.
