Newcastle United faces Brighton in the FA Cup, with both teams aiming for a spot in the quarter-finals. Brighton previously defeated Newcastle 1-0 this season, putting the Magpies under pressure to perform. Manager Eddie Howe emphasizes the importance of Alexander Isak's fitness, stating his return is vital for success as they prepare for the cup tie. Howe recognizes Brighton's strong form and is committed to giving the FA Cup the serious attention it deserves. Meanwhile, Brighton’s manager Fabian Hurzeler aims to inspire pride in the club's fans without making promises about titles.
I think with Alex, it is pretty clear for me, if he is fit in any game leading up to the EFL Cup final then he will play and we have to have that mindset with all of our players.
It is a huge competition. We know the importance of it, we don't take it lightly. This will be a tough game, Brighton are in great form.
Alex has standout qualities. We have moulded our game to his qualities. He is an outstanding talent and he possesses skills and abilities that make us better.
First of all, that's my job. I want to make the fans proud and bring them good performances.
