Newcastle United fans have backed Eddie Howe's decision to name an unchanged XI for this afternoon's clash with Aston Villa at St. James' Park. Howe has resisted the temptation to change his side after last weekend's impressive 2-1 victory at Tottenham Hotspur.
That means Dan Burn retains his place at left back ahead of Matt Targett, while Joelinton continues on the left hand side despite Allan Saint-Maximin's return to the bench. Sean Longstaff also continues in midfield even with Jonjo Shelvey in the squad after his first minutes of the season in the capital on Sunday.
Full XI: Pope, Trippier, Schar, Botman, Burn; Longstaff, Guimaraes, Willock; Almiron, Wilson, Joelinton
