Brighton boss Chris Hughton feels Sunday's showdown with former club Newcastle could well be settled by small margins.
The Magpies beat the Seagulls to last season's Sky Bet Championship title and have so far held their own on their return to the top flight following three wins from the opening five Premier League matches.
A goal from defender Jamaal Lascelles proved enough to edge Newcastle's past two games, beating Stoke 2-1 at home after a 1-0 win at Swansea.
Hughton, though, knows those encounters could also have seen a very different outcome for Rafael Benitez's side, who started with back-to-back Premier League defeats.
