Unai Emery's side got the better of Eddie Howe's men in the league this season, having beaten the Magpies 2-0 at St. James' Park last month and drawn 0-0 at Villa Park back in August. It's been a rough go of late for Newcastle, with just two wins (and five defeats) from their last nine games in all competitions, whereas Villa have been a bit more up and down (5W-2D-2L).

Aston Villa vs Newcastle prediction
Both midfields are operating well below full-strength due to injuries, which means both managers are likely to play it extra safe. Translation: not many scoring chances for either side. A cagey affair.. Aston Villa 1-0 Newcastle.
