ALBION have the incentive of hosting Newcastle in the fourth round of the FA Cup if they win their replay at Wrexham next week.
The Toon could become the fourth Premier League club to visit The Amex since the official opening against Spurs in July.
The Seagulls knocked Newcastle’s North-East rivals Sunderland out of the Carling Cup at their new stadium after extra-time before going out to Liverpool.
Former Newcastle winger Kazenga LuaLua now has an extra incentive to recover from the hamstring injury he suffered against Wrexham on Saturday.
It would also be a poignant tie for veteran Newcastle goalkeeper Steve Harper, who had a spell on loan to Albion earlier this season.
The Wrexham replay is likely to take place at The Racecourse Ground a week tomorrow (7.45). The fourth round ties will be played over the weekend of January 27, 28 and 29.
