Prediction: 2-1
Aston Villa
High-flying Newcastle will look to build on a 2-1 win over Tottenham when they host Aston Villa to their St. James’ Park on Saturday afternoon. The Magpies are enjoying a very successful first half of the season, with the team sitting in the Champions League berth, but they can’t afford any complacency in the upcoming league fixtures. Eddie Howe is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated Spurs, while all Ritchie, Krafth, Dummett, Isak, and Saint-Maximin should miss out with injuries.
The Villans, on the other hand, produced their best performance of the season at the weekend, with the team rolling over Brentford 4-0 at home, but given their poor away record, we predict that the Magpies are going to pick up all three points from Saturday’s clash. Both Diego Carlos and Kamara are sidelined with injuries, while Digne and Augustinsson are major doubts.

The Villans host their rivals at Villa Park, the stadium that was opened in 1897 and its’ capacity is 42,682.
