Aston Villa Predicted Starting Line-up

Expected Line-up: 4-2-3-1

Newcastle United are no longer struggling for goals – netting in each of their last five home league games – but they are at serious risk of dropping into the bottom three and, with one win in their last five league games at St James' Park, it would not be a surprise if Villa won this one.

Despite scoring in each of their last five home league games, Newcastle have won just one of them.
