Team News

Aston Villa
Newcastle
  • Aston Villa have a clean bill of health for Saturday's welcome of Newcastle.
  • Unai Emery may make two changes to the side that beat Southampton at St. Mary's last weekend.
  • Pau Torres and Ollie Watkins may start in place of Tyrone Mings and Jacob Ramsey here.
  • Newcastle suffered no fresh injury concerns in midweek and Eddie Howe may go with the same XI for Saturday's game at Villa Park.
  • Jamaal Lascelles, Sven Botman and Lewis Hall all continue to miss out for the Magpies.
  • Anthony Gordon has featured off the bench in his last two outings but is unlikely to oust Harvey Barnes in attack.

Prediction

  • Aston Villa put in a spirited display to beat PSG in midweek but they were unable to overcome the French side on aggregate as their Champions League campaign drew to a close. Villa welcome Newcastle on a run of nine wins from their last 10.
  • The Magpies have won six on the spin after their resounding 5-0 win over Crystal Palace on Wednesday night. Eddie Howe's side have won their last three away matches and nine of their last 11 on the road.
  • This is a huge clash in the race for a top-five finish and fans could witness an entertaining draw between two of the division's in-form sides.
