Villa vs Newcastle, 8pm UK Time
THE FA Cup takes centre-stage in England this weekend but Villa’s rearranged Premier League match with Newcastle is scheduled to take place at Villa Park on Saturday night.
Villa’s turnaround this season has been nothing short of remarkable and they will fancy their chances of chalking up three points here in what is their first top-flight tussle on home turf since Boxing Day.
The Magpies head into this clash on the back of a 3-0 defeat away at Arsenal on Monday night, a result that stretched Newcastle’s winless sequence in the Premier League to seven matches.
That setback has piled more pressure on Toon boss Steve Bruce who will be hoping he can inspire a needed response from his troops in the Midlands on Saturday night.
Prediction: Newcastle Win @5/1
