Newcastle United are looking to make it eight games unbeaten as they face up to an Aston Villa side who parted company with Steven Gerrard last week.
Since Gerrard was sacked it has been 37-year-old Birmingham-born coach Aaron Danks who has been looking after things while Villa wait for Unai Emery's work permit. Danks guided Villa to a 4-0 win against Brentford last weekend and will be in charge for another game at St James' Park.
The Magpies won this fixture last season with Kieran Trippier scoring the winning goal.
