Eddie Howe’s high-flying Newcastle United look to keep hold of their top four place in the Premier League when they welcome Aston Villa to St. James’ Park, with Unai Emery the confirmed new manager in the wake of Steven Gerrard’s sacking.
🗣 “We’re enjoying the moment we’re in. We want to keep it going as long as we can. There’s no complacency.”

The Magpies boast the joint-top record on form in the league (4-2-0) and look the real deal this season under Howe and on the back of continued investment from the Public Investment Fund-led ownership consortium.
Howe’s troops made a real statement last time out in a 2-1 away from against Antonio Conte’s Tottenham in the English capital, and come into proceedings here as the odds-on favorite to bag another three-point haul and keep their hopes alive of returning to the Champions League for the first time since 2003-04.
