Two Predictions for Newcastle vs Aston Villa
Newcastle have made a much-brighter start to the new Premier League campaign than their guests this weekend, Aston Villa, but the visitors have a new man at the helm in the form of Unai Emery and managed to win 4-0 without a manager last time out, so we're expecting a close and competitive 90-minutes at St James' Park.

Draw
On two of the last three occasions that Newcastle have hosted Aston Villa the games have ended in draws, and we're backing a stalemate on Saturday when the two sides lock horns once again. Unai Emery takes charge of his first game as Aston Villa managed and his players will be buoyed by their display last weekend which produced a 4-0 win against Brentford. Newcastle have become draw specialists this season and we can see Eddie Howe's men struggling to beat their guests this weekend due to the fact that they have a new manager and it will be hard to know just how Emery will play.
Under 2.5 Goals
There is a good chance that Saturday's clash will be tight and tense as each of the last five league meetings between Newcastle and Aston Villa have produced under 2.5 goals. Under 2.5 goals have also been produced in three of Newcastle's and four of Aston Villa's last six matches, so there is plenty of reason to expect another goal-shy afternoon at St James' Park this weekend.

Will Unai Emery get off to a winning start with Aston Villa?
Newcastle secured a fantastic 2-1 away win against Champions League hopefuls Tottenham last weekend. A near-perfect first-half performance from the Magpies saw Wilson and Almiron score to make it 2-0 at the break. Despite Harry Kane pulling a goal back for the home side early in the second forty-five, Newcastle held firm to claim a big 3pts against top Premier League side.
Newcastle Predicted lineup – Pope, Trippier, Schär, Burn, Botman, Almirón, Willock, Guimarães, Longstaff, Wilson & Joelinton
A managerless Aston Villa side played host to Brentford on Sunday where the home side played with more freedom and attacking prowess than they ever did under Steven Gerrard. A goal from Bailey and two from Ings, one a penalty, inside the opening 15-minutes saw Villa race into a huge lead. Watkins made it 4-0 in the 59th-minute to ensure there was no way back into the game for a stunned Brentford side.
Aston Villa Predicted lineup – Martínez, Young, Dendoncker, Mings, Konsa, Cash, Buendía, Luiz, Ings, Watkins & Bailey
