The performances of Eddie Howe and Unai Emery will 'terrify' the so-called top six clubs of the Premier League with a change of guard seemingly underway when it comes to the top sides in the top flight. Howe and Emery meet this weekend as Newcastle United travel to face Aston Villa looking to win their sixth game in a row.
A win would solidify Newcastle's place in third and boost their chances of European qualification but Villa having picked up sixteen points from their last six games are on the lookout for a shock top-six finish themselves. With Chelsea and Liverpool looking unlikely to finish in the top four, and one of Spurs or Man United also likely to miss out, there's a feeling that Howe and Emery's fantastic work at their respective clubs will leave the old guard worried about the future.
