After the club’s controversial Saudi-Arabian-backed takeover last October, Newcastle looked primed to challenge the Premier League’s so-called “top six” over the next few years, but remarkably the Magpies are already upsetting the status quos after just 12 months. Under Eddie Howe, the club currently sits in fourth place having won four of their last five games while also claiming a respectable draw against Man Utd at Old Trafford.
It should also be noted that Newcastle have only lost once this season and that sole defeat only came after Liverpool scored a 98th-minute winner. The north-eastern side also boasts the meanest defense in the league having conceded just 10 goals across 12 games (even Man City have conceded more). With star players like Bruno Guimarães and Sven Botman in sparkling form and the remarkable redemption of Miguel Almiron from EPL flop to the side’s top scorer, on Tyneside, it really does feel like the sky is the limit right now.
Looking to spoil the euphoric mood surrounding St James’ Park are Aston Villa. The side are fresh off a 4-0 victory over Brentford just days after sacking manager Steven Gerrard. It’s been confirmed that Unai Emery will step in to replace Gerrard, and in an interesting twist of fate Emery actually turned down the Newcastle job almost exactly a year ago. However, Emery won’t be on the touchline for this game because his work permit won’t have arrived in time.
Realistically, Newcastle are unlikely to still be occupying a top four spots come the end of the season, but the Magpies have been more than worthy of their current position based on the season to date. But a win against Aston Villa is far from guaranteed and the Villains would love to disrupt the party atmosphere on Tyneside.
Here's how they line up:
Newcastle: Pope, Trippier, Schar, Botman, Burn, Longstaff, Guimaraes, Willock, Almiron, Joelinton, Wilson.
Aston Villa: Martinez, Cash, Konsa, Mings, Young, Dendoncker, Luiz, Watkins, Buendia, Bailey, Ings.
