Newcastle United will be hoping to record their sixth straight Premier League win when they travel to face in-form Aston Villa. The Magpies are in action at Villa Park in the televised lunchtime kick-off on Saturday, hoping to extend their advantage over Tottenham in the race for the top four.
Eddie Howe's side recorded a perfect week following the international break, opening up with an impressive home victory over Manchester United. This was followed by a thumping 5-1 midweek win at West Ham, and a comeback 2-1 success at Brentford just three days' later.
Miguel Almiron has returned to training following a recent thigh injury, and could be in line to feature against Villa. Allan Saint-Maximin is also making good progress from his own setback, although the clash with Unai Emery's side comes too soon for the Magpies' number 10.
