Newcastle XI vs Aston Villa – Predicted lineup and team news | OneFootball

Newcastle United head to Aston Villa in the Premier League this evening with both teams chasing Champions League football.

The Magpies are targeting a seventh straight win in all competitions. Despite the absence of manager Eddie Howe through illness, Newcastle have thrashed Manchester United and Crystal Palace over the last week to climb to third in the Premier League table.

Having ended a 70-year wait for a major domestic trophy earlier in the campaign, Newcastle are now bidding to secure a top-five finish and Champions League qualification.

Aston Villa are also in the running for Champions League football and are similarly in fine form. Unai Emery’s team have won nine of their last 10 in all competitions and beat Paris Saint-Germain in midweek.

Though that win failed to turn around their quarter-final tie, it has increased confidence ahead of the Premier League run-in. A win for Villa would take them within two points of today’s opponents.

The form of Jacob Murphy and Harvey Barnes has meant Anthony Gordon has failed to break back into the Newcastle team after injury.

It’s a welcome headache for stand-in boss Jason Tindall, with his attacking options all firing. Newcastle have scored 12 goals across their last three league games and are now the third-highest scorers in the Premier League.

The Magpies remain without defensive trio Sven Botman, Lewis Hall and Jamaal Lascelles due to injury.
