Prediction

  • Aston Villa were unable to get the better of Chelsea on Friday night though a draw at Stamford Bridge means they are unbeaten in four. Villa have been struggling in front of goal of late having scoring just one goal in their last three matches.
  • Newcastle have won only two of their last seven matches, both of which have come away from home in the FA Cup. The Magpies have lost their last four trips to Villa Park.
  • Villa may have struggled in front of goal in recent weeks but should have what it takes to claim all the spoils.
