Newcastle United will be hoping to secure a third consecutive Premier League win when Aston Villa visit St James' Park but may be facing a freshened up Villans side.
Steven Gerrard's side went toe-to-toe with the famously energetic Leeds United in midweek and ran themselves into the ground to match the intensity of their opponents in a frenetic 3-3 draw.
As a team, Villa ran more in the 90 minutes against Leeds than they had in any previous game under Gerrard and the Villa boss hinted at a reshuffle of his starting XI for the trip to Tyneside after the game.
