Image source, Getty ImagesNewcastle boss Eddie Howe says midfielder Sean Longstaff remains motivated to perform at St James' Park and must be ready to seize his opportunity when it arrives.
"I don't look at it that way," Howe told BBC Radio Newcastle. "I don't have to motivate him. He should motivate himself - he is here representing the club he loves.
"He has to be ready to take his chance when it comes. Any train of thought that I have to - I can't do that for all 25 players.
"But Sean is motivated. He has been brilliant behind the scenes, he is training well and he's got undoubted qualities. He also has a contract for next year.
"The control is very much in his hands as to what he wants to do for his long-term future. And we are certainly delighted to have him."
Longstaff has not started in the Premier League since the 4-2 defeat by Brentford in December, his only start since then coming against Bromley in the FA Cup.
Despite his limited minutes, Howe insisted Longstaff retains a further clarified his statements and explained that he's more than happy to have at his disposal.
"He's got our utmost respect - he's been a brilliant servant to the football club. He's still a very valued member of the squad with a big part to play."

Striker Alexander Isak has recorded the most goals (19) and non-penalty goals (15) in the Premier League since the start of December, while is second only to Mohamed Salah (30) for goal involvements (23) over the same period of time.
The Swede could score in a fourth successive league game against Chelsea, something he has only done before in the competition against Brentford and Nottingham Forest.
Image source, Getty ImagesThe pressure can be very, very high for a game like Newcastle and Chelsea this weekend.
It is that idea of it being a six-pointer - which is such a cliche thing - but it does matter at the end of the season because you know you are not going to play them again.
This is the moment to gain something or take away from the opponent. As a consequence, there is pressure on it.
The fans are aware of that. After this, they will only have two games left. So any sort of issues that come from losing this game, they know they will not really have the time to fix and will have to look elsewhere at results.
The teams being on the same amount of points right now just adds to that. So while there is pressure, it is more of an exciting pressure because you are playing for something really significant.
Both sides can still qualify for Champions League football but it is a great opportunity to get ahead of the other. With the quality they have, both teams will believe that if they finish this match in front, they will not be caught.
At this point of the season, results are definitive. Wherever clubs finish, they deserve to be there because they have been able to manage these moments and manage these big games.
Players going into this fixture know it will be tough because they are facing a team that is good as theirs with quality players and with difference-makers on the bench. They also know if they are playing away from home that the crowd is going to be hostile. Not just casually hostile, but ridiculously hostile, because they know how big the game is as well.
It is in the preparation. Both sides need to give themselves the best chance of playing as well as they can - individually and collectively - to get the win. Even though it is three points, it will feel bigger.
It is going to be pressure-packed, but it will be a great game of football because the players will play as if it is the last game they are ever going to play.

John Turrell from Smoove & Turrell told BBC Radio Newcastle he wants Sunderland back in the Premier League next season.
It would require the Black Cats getting through the Championship play-offs, starting against Coventry City on Friday night.
How far do you agree with him?

Image source, Getty ImagesWe asked for your views on who should start in the big remaining games for Newcastle - Anthony Gordon or Harvey Barnes?
In our totally unscientific poll earlier, 63% of you wanted Gordon to start, with only 12% selecting Barnes.
However, the remaining 25% of you suggested that both Barnes and Gordon should be tried together for the final Premier League games.
Here are some of your comments:
Dave: Anthony Gordon is our best wide attacker. He's more dynamic than Barnes - there's more to his game. However, the partnership between Barnes and Tino Livramento has been great recently. If I had to pick, I'd go with Gordon.
JD: Gordon and Barnes are both equally effective in terms of goals and assists. Barnes is great arriving with late runs and scoring spectacular solo goals. But Gordon occupies players more, which gives Alexander Isak space. It's no coincidence that Isak has only scored one goal from open play since Gordon has been out of the side. For that reason alone, I'd like to see Gordon start, with Barnes coming on later.
Richard: One big problem with inverting wingers like Gordon is that they can be predictable. To counter this an overlapping full-back offers defenders a dilemma in who to cover - the full-back who can cross the ball or the wide player cutting into the half space for a curler in the far top corner? Gordon makes the defenders job easier because he never plays in the full back on the overlap. He always cuts into the half space even if it is the wrong option - often to the frustration of Hall or Livramento. Think of our second goal against Liverpool in the final - Barnes plays a lovely yet simple ball to Livramento who crosses it to Jacob Murphy. Easy! Gordon wouldn't have done that and that's my worry when he's playing. Correct that issue in his game and he gets my vote.
Julie: Gordon to start for me. Much more creative. Isak's goals have dropped off since he's been missing. Gordon picks up more free-kicks with his electric play too. Barnes and Murphy to cover the right wing.
Image source, Getty ImagesThe Northern Echo's chief sports writer Scott Wilson believes Anthony Gordon should be starting ahead of Harvey Barnes for the remaining Premier League fixtures.
Newcastle have Chelsea, Arsenal and Everton left to play in their bid for a top five finish and a spot in next season's Champion League.
Speaking to BBC Radio Newcastle, Wilson said Gordon can have a bigger impact on these big games: "Going into these last few games, especially Sunday, I think you play Anthony Gordon. I'd leave Harvey Barnes out.
"Barnes had moments on the left and did pretty well against Brighton, but I just think if you write down your best Newcastle starting XI, Gordon is in it.
"It feels like Barnes is sometimes more direct, but I still think in a big game I back Gordon to be more of a difference-maker."

Image source, Getty ImagesIt wouldn't be Newcastle United if it was all easy now would it? We've been saying for weeks that Champions League qualification is very much in our hands. And we find ourselves as fans once again checking who Villa are playing, who Forest are playing, what the goal difference is, etc, etc.
We managed to grab a point this weekend to stay (un)comfortably in the mix but thanks to a weakened (or just not bothered?) Liverpool side capitulating to Chelsea our fixture this coming Sunday becomes absolutely huge. We're up for the challenge. I think.
Some questions are being asked of Alexander Isak and whether or not he is fully fit. It's funny - if you look at his stats this season he has scored 23 goals, and yet it feels like we haven't fully unlocked his potential. Yes, we scored a penalty this weekend - but that was only his second touch in the opposition box. In the 89th minute.
My two cents are that he is fit - he played the whole game and didn't need to be replaced at any point - but something slightly tactically isn't working. I'd like to see Anthony Gordon back and working with him but here is where I am going to surprise you: I am not a qualified football coach and I don't know how to fix it. I know. I know!
Maybe I'm being greedy - 23 goals is a lot of goals! But I also want Isak to be happy at Newcastle and I think he (a striker) is very happy when scoring goals. Seeing him throw his hands up, exasperated not to get on the end of a cross, or to be not crossed to at all, worries me (though I acknowledge that worrying me specifically is not a difficult thing to do). He is vital to a Champions League or any other European campaign next season. Let's keep him happy.

Image source, Getty ImagesWe asked for your views on Brighton's Premier League match against Newcastle.
Here are some of your comments:
Brighton fans
Fran: A draw was a fair result as I thought we lacked creativity in and around their box. Our build up play is so slow, giving the opposition so much time to get back into position. We hold the ball at the back waiting for the strikers to come to us but they don't and then we don't seem to know what to do so just pump it forward and give it away. Very frustrating and boring to watch. Let's just get the season finished!
Ben: Referee wanted to give them absolutely everything from minute one. A one in three rate for calling a penalty is abysmal for a referee of that calibre. Every time we tackled them and got the ball, foul. The opposite but no ball, play on no issue. Absolutely awful overall.
Stuart: Disappointed not to win the game. We were so close, but to be fair Newcastle have some amazing assets in their team, none more so than Craig Pawson, he played a blinder.
Newcastle fans
Chris: That was an incredibly frustrating game to watch. We have gone from scoring for fun to not being able to get our key striker into half chance positions, all in the space of a few games.
Philip: Disappointing in the first half, but really improved in the second. Would have won with more composure in the box. Dan Burn was man of the match for me. Tonali had probably his poorest game for us, but he's only human!
Roy: Poor performance overall, but a point is probably a fair result. Awful dive from Willock and he deserved his yellow. Wieffer very lucky to still be on the pitch for Brighton after a clear second yellow card was not given for some strange reason. I'll take a draw away against a very good Brighton side
Image source, Getty ImagesFormer Premier League striker Clinton Morrison is confident that Newcastle will seal a Champions League spot, despite dropping points against Brighton on Sunday.
He told BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily podcast he is not concerned about the Magpies missing out on Europe's top tier competition.
"Going to Brighton is a hugely difficult game," Morrison said. "They didn't play well but they got the penalty at the end. They kept going and that could be a crucial point. I still think it is Newcastle's to lose."
"I don't worry about Newcastle, I think they will get in the Champions League. I look at their run of games and there are some tough one in there but at home they are fantastic in front of their fans. That is like having a 12th man.
"One player they did miss was Joelinton to break up the midfield and with his powerful running and the defensive work he does.
"But, I still think Newcastle will be good enough to get into that Champions League spot."

Image source, Getty ImagesFormer Liverpool midfielder Danny Murphy was impressed by Newcastle's performance in their 1-1 draw against Brighton, despite a lack of clinical finishing.
The Magpis needed a late penalty from Alexander Isak to rescue a point at Amex Stadium but Murphy says that was the least they deserved.
"Eddie Howe said in one of his post match interviews that their problem was they just weren't clinical enough, which is right, but actually it was an accomplished performance," he told Match of the Day 2. "They were better than Brighton.
"They looked a really good side. The only thing that was lacking, which is unusual with the quality forwards they've got, was that bit of calmness and decision making in the final third. Other than that, Howe should be really pleased with the level of performance.
"They controlled the game for long periods, and had a lot of joy down the left side. It's just about finding the right option."
Ex-Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney added: "I think Newcastle are a really good team and a good watch as well. They dominated the game. They were unfortunate to go a goal behind, but what I liked about them was that they kept pushing.
"They kept finding themselves in the right areas and doing the right things - it was just their little details. They have to get those right and then they win games comfortably."
Mark Chapman presents highlights and analysis from Sunday's four Premier League fixtures, plus the best of the action from the rest of the weekend.

Listen back to the weekend's full match commentaries on BBC Sounds:
Image source, Getty ImagesEddie Howe spoke to BBC Match of the Day after Newcastle's draw against Brighton: "That's what VAR is there for [the penalty]. I'm happy for VAR to make those calls. I thought the third one was a stonewall but we got there is the end.
"I've no major criticism other than maybe we were not creative enough and not at our clinical best in front of goal.
"When you're 1-0 down you have to be grateful for the point. We're certainly stronger with it than without it."
On the prospect the race for the Champions League will go down to the final weekend of the season: "I felt that months back. We've got top quality teams fighting for a massive prize. We just hope we're in there."

Image source, Getty ImagesAlexander Isak's last-minute equaliser means Newcastle fans will make the long journey back north in a better mood, but the result will still be tinged with a feeling they should have taken all three points.
Newcastle were chasing the game from the 28th-minute after former player Yankuba Minteh curled into the far corner.
That strike was against the run of play and Brighton rarely looked like troubling again.
Newcastle posed the questions and had opportunities through Harvey Barnes and Jacob Murphy.
They also had two penalty decisions overturned by the video assistant referee (VAR).
Anthony Gordon was initially deemed to have been fouled in the box but a VAR check rightly ruled the contact was outside, while the second was chalked off after Joe Willock was deemed to have dived.
There could be no dispute over the third penalty shout, which stood, when Yasin Ayari used his arm to block Fabian Schar's free-kick.
Isak showed great composure to register his 23rd of the season - the first Newcastle player to reach that tally in the Premier League since Alan Shearer in 2001-02.
Callum Wilson almost earned Newcastle a win in stoppage time but Bart Verbruggen was on call to make a fine save.
Victory would have moved Newcastle up to third and firmly in the mix for a Champions League berth with three games to go.
But they stay fourth and face a battle to retain a top-five spot, with tough fixtures to come against Chelsea, Arsenal and Everton.
Image source, Getty ImagesToday's result ended a run of 20 consecutive Premier League games without a draw for Newcastle United (W14 L6) since a 3-3 draw with Liverpool in December. It was the longest ongoing such streak in the competition.
