It’s hard to know what to expect from Newcastle this season. At times they have been brilliant, especially in the wins over Arsenal and Tottenham, but they have already suffered five defeats. They have won their last two, including a thumping 4-0 win over Ipswich at the weekend, and top scorer Alexander Isak is bang in form. In front of their home fans, they’ll want to deliver some festive cheer.
There is no doubt that fighting on two fronts has had an impact on Aston Villa this season. They’ve been superb in the Champions League but have already suffered five defeats in the Premier League, including four straight losses on the road. Unai Emery’s side certainly possess the quality to address this poor run away run and will have been boosted by the weekend’s impressive 2-1 win over Man City.
After both teams secured impressive wins at the weekend, who will get the upper hand today? Tune in to find out.
