Tight and tense 90-minutes expected at St James' Park
Newcastle were held to a goalless draw away at West Brom last time out and before that, they drew 1-1 at home to Wolves. Aston Villa played out a goalless draw with fellow Midland's club Wolves in their last game and lost 1-0 away at Sheff Utd before that. Neither of these teams can claim to be in good form heading into Friday night's clash, but Villa are the form favourites with two wins, two draws and two defeats from their last six outings.
Both of these teams have been involved in a number of low-scoring matches of late and each of their last seven encounters against one another have failed to produce more than two goals, so you can see just why we're expecting a close and competitive 90-minutes on Friday. Villa claimed a 2-0 win over Newcastle when the two sides locked horns in January for their reverse league fixture, thanks to goals from Watkins and Traore.
The hosts will be without the services of Callum Wilson (thigh), Allan Saint-Maximin (Groin), Miguel Almiron (knee) and Fabian Schar (knee) for Friday's game at home to Aston Villa. The visitors have doubts over the fitnesses of Jack Grealish, Anwar El Ghazi, Bertrand Traore, Morgan Sanson and Kortney Hause for the trip to Newcastle, while Wesley (knee) and Matty Cash (thigh) have already been ruled out.
