Newcastle United vs Aston Villa Preview

Top four Toons play host to a hyped up Villa outfit on Sunday morning (AEST).

Newcastle turned St. James’ Park into a fortress last season, losing just twice on home turf (11W,6D).

Meanwhile Aston Villa’s road form was somewhat expected, losing eight of 19 games away from home (6W,5D).

Both sides have looked in tremendous nick in preseason, Newcastle are undefeated in seven (5W,2D), while Villa are unbeaten in six (3W,3D), in fact this pair played out a 3-3 draw two weeks ago.

This fixture produced four goals last season, and I’m backing another high scoring affair to materialise here.
