    Brighton players celebrate victory against Newcastle Getty Images

    Former Brighton striker Warren Aspinall spoke to the Albion Unlimited podcast before Sunday's match against Newcastle: "I think if we can score first, we will win the game convincingly. They [Newcastle] crumble - we saw that against Aston Villa.

    "They haven't got the pace at the back to chase games. Once [Kieran] Trippier and [Tino] Livramento get forward, [Fabian] Schar goes wandering and we can really exploit them.

    "Brighton will have a spring in their step and the confidence is there after the comeback [against West Ham]. There is togetherness again and there are no individuals playing for themselves.

    "I'm going for a 3-1 convincing win."

    Brighton welcomed former Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure to the training ground this week, with Fabian Hurzeler pleased by what he and his team learned from the Premier League title winner.

    "In general we are a very open club and we always want to learn from other departments and other personalities," said the Brighton boss. "He's an unbelievable personality and he was a great player, so therefore we have two aspects when he was here.

    "The first one is he has a good relationship to the African players and I think it's very important we have someone there who can talk with the players, who has an understanding of where they come from, how is the culture there and what are their needs. I think that's something where I also can learn from.

    "And on the other side he was a great player so he can give me and the players some small advice on what it needs to be at the highest level.

    "We had a really interesting exchange. Although I didn't have that much time, I took away a lot of things and for sure we'll stay in touch and let's see how this relationship continues."

    Toure made 229 Premier League appearances in his eight seasons at Manchester City and won three league titles, an FA Cup and two League Cups.

    • On having Yaya Toure around the training ground this week: "We are a very open club and we want to learn from other personalities. It is important you have someone who can talk to the players who understands where they have come from and their needs. I can also learn something [from that]."

    • On Lewis Dunk's influence in the team: "We can't praise him enough. He has had a difficult season and not really got got into rhythm but he is always there. He never hides and there for me shows his big character."

    • He hopes Dunk's return will boost everyone's confidence: "I try to be a role model regarding positivity and giving joy to the players even when we have bad results because you have to love the challenges you face."

    • On opponents Newcastle: "We know it is another big, big challenge for us but we are looking forward to it and after training this week, we are ready for it."
