The team of Aston Villa had probably the most difficult start of the season with away games against Arsenal and Chelsea and a home match against Liverpool. Of these 3 meetings Villa managed a valuable success, but lost the other two. Newcastle on the other, hand performs quite hesitantly, scoring only 1 goal, which brought the team's single win of the season.
Newcastle has a terrible statistics of the matches as a guest in the Premier League. Currently the Magpies have not won in 19 of their last 21 away games in the league. Surely Alan Pardew is aware that, if his team is not to end up in the battle to stay in the league, his players should significantly improve their performance away from home.
Undoubtedly, we can expect fairly competitive clash in which, however, the home team's chances of winning look much higher. Nevertheless, it is important to note that Newcastle has a positive balance from the matches against this rival in the league. Last season the Magpies were constantly plagued by injuries of key players, which was the main reason for the poor performance of the team. For this game, however, in the squad of the guests there are no major absentees.
