Newport has a huge list of inuries, as they are without most of their squad. In the last game, both central defenders Howkins and O'Brien got injured, so the squad is really depleted.

Newport manager Flynn has said he might need to register himself as a player since they don't have enough to field a defense (he hasn't played since 2017).

Brighton look good in the EFL cup, having topped their group against 2 League One opponents and 1 League Two team (Newport are a League Two team).

Newport only qualified from their group on goal difference, in a group consisting of 2 League Two teams, and the West Ham U21.

Beware though: Odds has already been slashed so the injuries are taken into account by the market. I just don't think market has accounted for it enough.

Newport absentees:
Howkins, O'Brien, Demetriou, Leadbitter, Bennett, Willmott, Labadie, Maloney, Marsh-Brown, Azeez.
