Prediction: 2-1
Aston Villa
Newcastle United will be looking to build on a splendid 3-0 win over Sheffield United when they face Aston Villa at their St. James’ Park. The Magpies restarted the season in great manner, with the team moving one step closer to securing the EPL survival, but boss Steve Bruce must warn his men against complacency. The good news for the hosts is that midfielder Sean Longstaff is closing in on a return.
The Villans, on the other hand, suffered a 2-1 loss to Chelsea at the weekend, despite taking the lead on the stroke of half time. As a result, Dean Smith’s troops remained in the relegation zone. Aston Villa are eager to grab something from the midweek clash, but we are tempted to put our money on the hosts as they impressed in the second half of Sunday’s match against Sheffield United. It has to be noted that Danny Drinkwater, Tom Heaton, and Wesley remain in the recovery room for the visitors.

Highlighted Player (Jack Colback):
After spending nine years at Sunderland youth academy, Jack Colback signed a loan deal with Ipswich Town on 6 August, 2009. The left-footed midfielder, who is capable of playing at left back as well, made 37 appearances for the Championship side, scoring four goals in the English second tier.
Against all odds, Colback decided to sign for Sunderland’s bitterest rivals Newcastle United on 9 June, 2014 and it has to be noted he became the first player to move directly from Sunderland to Newcastle since 1998 when Lionel Perez did the same. In 2015 Sunderland fans created a sick banner depicting Colback hanging with a noose around his neck and that caused uproar on social media.
Colback and his teammates from Newcastle dropped to the Championship at the end of the 2015/2016 season, but he decided not to leave the club. Colback scored 5 goals in 64 appearances for Newcastle United in the Premier League. He is well known for his passing skills, he rarely gives the ball away and journalist often compare him with Italy ace Andrea Pirlo.
Highlighted Team (Aston Villa):
Aston Villa is one of the three clubs that dropped to the Championship at the end of the 2015/2016 Premier League campaign. The Villans host their rivals at Villa Park, the stadium that was opened in 1897 and its’ capacity is 42,682. However, it has to be noted that the highest attendance recorded at the stadium was 76,588 when Aston Villa faced Derby County in the FA Cup back in 1946.
Aston Villa’s fiercest rivals are Birmingham City and West Bromwich Albion. Nonetheless, the rivalry between Aston Villa and Wolves and Coventry City is big as well. Aston Villa have won seven First Division (Premier League) trophies, with the team clinching seven FA Cup trophies as well.
The team’s biggest success, though, came in 1982 when they won the European Cup. The Villans defeated Bayern Munich (1-0) in the title game and Peter Withe was named the man of the match.
