Aston Villa Preview & Form
Aston Villa are in top form at the moment, but they will come into this game on the back of a heartbreaking defeat in the Champions League quarterfinal against PSG. The Villains were eliminated from the Champions League on a 5-4 aggregate despite claiming a 3-2 win in the second leg at Villa Park. Last weekend, Unai Emery's men extended their winning streak in the Premier League to four consecutive matches by beating Premier League rock-bottom team Southampton 3-0 at St. Mary's Stadium. Following the Champions League exit, Villa will now focus on returning to Champions League football next season with just six games to go. Currently, they sit seventh in the Premier League standings with 54 points from 32 games, three points behind Manchester City.
Unai Emery's team has been solid with form when playing on their home soil, with the Villains having remained undefeated in the last 15 Premier League home games. Their only defeat at Villa Park this season in the Premier League was back in round two, a 2-0 loss against Arsenal.
Newcastle United Preview & Form
Newcastle United are enjoying their best season, as the Magpies have secured back-to-back Premier League wins since securing their first major trophy in 70 years. The Magpies boosted their chances of finishing in the top five with a guarantee of playing Champions League football next season by winning each of their last five Premier League matches. Eddie Howe's side extended their winning streak to six consecutive matches by dispatching Crystal Palace 5-0 at St. James’ Park during their midweek game in hand. The Magpies have been enjoyable to watch, with their attackers having scored two or more goals in each of their last five matches across all competitions. Currently, Eddie Howe's side has moved back to third place in the Premier League standings with 59 points from 32 games.
Eddie Howe's team are now chasing their third consecutive Premier League away victory after winning each of their last two road games. They have won seven of their last ten Premier League away games, and they will take confidence heading to Villa Park.
