After a scintillating Champions League win in midweek, Unai Emery’s side will look to carry their momentum into domestic action. We look ahead to Saturday’s Premier League clash with our Newcastle United vs Aston Villa prediction and preview.
Newcastle vs Aston Villa: The Key Stats
The Opta supercomputer gives Newcastle a marginal edge ahead of kick-off, with a 40.9% chance of victory to Aston Villa’s 32.4%. Villa could pick up wins in consecutive visits to St. James’ Park for the first time since winning three between 1955-56 and 1957-58, after winning 2-0 there in January. The Magpies have gone 12 straight Premier League home games without a clean sheet – their longest run without a shutout since going 13 between December 1998 and August 1999.After picking up hugely contrasting results in their last respective outings, Newcastle and Aston Villa meet in the Premier League on Saturday, with both sides looking to improve their domestic performances after inconsistent starts.

They have shipped 11 goals across six Premier League matches so far – their most at this stage of a season since 1986-87 (16), when they eventually finished bottom of the table.
The Villans have also faced an uncharacteristic 15.8 shots per game this season – their most since the 2019-20 season, when they allowed an average of 16 per game.
Still, faith in Emery to guide Villa up the table will remain high, especially with the Spaniard on the cusp of recording his 100th Premier League victory.
He has won 99 of his 196 matches in the competition (D44 L53), and victory over Newcastle would make him the joint-ninth-fastest manager to reach 100 Premier League wins.
