Aston Villa vs Newcastle United match preview
This game has a mid-2000s feel about it, with Aston Villa and Newcastle both on course to finish in the top six for the first time since 2004.
Many expected Newcastle United to fall away after their Carabao Cup Final defeat, but the Magpies come into this key clash having won five on the spin.
Last week could hardly have gone any better for Eddie Howe’s team as they beat Manchester United 2-0, West Ham 5-1 and then Brentford 2-1.
In-form Alexander Isak scoring a beautiful winner at the Brentford Community Stadium as the Toon Army came from behind.
These five wins on the spin leave Newcastle third, above Man United on goal difference and three points clear of Tottenham.
Given that Spurs visit St James’ Park next Sunday, the Magpies could put themselves in pole position for Champions League qualification over the course of the next week or so.
When Steven Gerrard was sacked in mid-October, the Villans were 17th but, having won 12 of their 19 games since then, they kick off in sixth.
Last Saturday, the Claret and Blue Army made it four wins on the spin by beating Nottingham Forest 2-0, with Leon Bailey and OIlie Watkins on target.
Under Unai Emery, they’ve accumulated 35 points from 17 fixture, a points-per-game of 2.06.
Extrapolated across an entire season, that PPG would see Villa accumulate 78 points, a tally that would’ve been enough to finish third or sometimes even second every year since 2014.
Right now, Villa are in a great position to get back into Europe for the first time since 2010, sat sixth, a point clear of Brighton and three above Liverpool.
Given Emery’s record in the Europa League, if they were in it, Villa would probably be the side winning the whole thing on 22 May 2024 in Dublin.
Newcastle did win the reverse fixture 4-0 in October, with Aaron Danks in caretaker charge of Villa that day, but the Magpies haven’t won at Villa Park since 2013.
In short, both of these teams are really good right now, making this clash tough to call.
Aston Villa team news
After another win last weekend, Unai Emery is set to make just one change to his XI.
Leon Bailey went off injured early last weekend so Bertrand Traoré, who’s scored off the bench in their last two games, is set to come in.
Ollie Watkins’ magnificent form continued with an impudent dink against Nottingham Forest, his ninth goal in 11 appearances.
Predicted XI (4-4-2): Martínez; Young, Konsa, Mings, Moreno; Douglas Luiz, McGinn, Buendía, Ramsey; Traoré, Watkins.
Newcastle United team news
Big money January signing Anthony Gordon was brought on at half time last weekend, before being taken off in the 95th minute with only a few seconds to go.
Gordon did not react to this very well, so is very unlikely to earn only his second start for the club here.
However, they are short of wingers right now with Allan Saint-Maximin’s season potentially over while, in better news, Miguel Almirón has returned to training this week.
Up front, Alexander Isak has now scored five in his last five, so will continue to get the nod over Callum Wilson.
Predicted XI (4-3-3): Pope; Trippier, Schär, Botman, Burn; Willock, S Longstaff, Guimarães; Murphy, Joelinton; Isak.
