Match Preview
Eddie Howe has turned St. James Park into a genuine fortress over the last few months. His squad enters this match with the confidence of an eight game unbeaten run on home soil. Still, they must be cautious as Villa is a very different beast this season.
The Magpies have scored in every single home match this year which is a staggering statistic. They rely heavily on Bruno Guimaraes and Anthony Gordon to drive the tempo. Their attacking style often leads to a high number of corners for the Tyneside faithful.
Momentum is building as the team has only lost once in their previous five fixtures. That said, the defense has been slightly leaky lately, conceding over one goal per game on average. It will take a massive shift to keep a clean sheet today.
Unai Emery has his Aston Villa squad dreaming of a top three finish as they sit pretty in the standings. They possess the third best away record which proves they can handle hostile environments. Their tactical flexibility makes them a nightmare for home managers.
Morgan Rogers and Ollie Watkins have been the standout performers for the Birmingham based club recently. Despite their high ranking, they have failed to score in their last two matches. This mini goal drought is something Emery will be desperate to fix on Sunday.
Expect an aggressive approach from the visitors who often draw many fouls from their opponents. This could be a very physical encounter with plenty of cards shown by the referee. It is vital to check the latest Free Premier League Predictions before kickoff.

Prediction
Both Teams to Score @1.58
Newcastle United has been extremely consistent at home this season, finding the net in every single match played at St James Park. They average two goals per game on their own turf, showing a high level of offensive efficiency. However, their defense remains a concern, conceding an average of 1.36 goals. This combination of a strong attack and a shaky backline makes goals very likely.
Aston Villa travels north with a formidable attacking lineup led by Watkins and Rogers. Despite failing to score in their last two outings, they maintain an average of 1.36 goals per away match this season. With Newcastle allowing plenty of chances at home, Emery's men are perfectly positioned to break their drought. Both teams have enough quality in the final third to ensure the scoreboard changes frequently.
