Here is Eddie Howe’s interview with Sky Sport’s reporter Keith Downie before tonight’s third and final game in the Premier League Summer Series in America against Brighton, who finished 6th top of the Premier League last season on 62 points.
The game will take place in the Red Bull Arena in Harrison, New Jersey, just across the Hudson River from New York City.
It is the home stadium of the New York Red Bulls of Major League Soccer and NJ/NY Gotham FC of the National Women’s Soccer League.
It should be another close and interesting game tonibht with the kickoff set at 7:30pm local time – that’s 12:30am (Saturday) Newcastle time.
Comments welcome.

Comment #201Huh, that’s weird. Brighton have just made like 7 subs. Almost like they’re trying to get a lot of their squad minutes. 🙂

Comment #203Hey, Eddie,
I can see where you’re going with your 3 team selections. Results not the objective, so, has the excursion being as worthwhile as you hoped? (Ending with reserves can’t, surely, have been your plan from the get-go.)

Comment #220Howe maybe is purposely starting “weaken” 11 to stress test his players, while opposition was starting near full first 11.

Comment #222Watching our first team is like watching a champions league team pass the ball about with silky smooth quality and the quality we have, when we drop first team player we literally look championship- league 1 relegation standard.
