Aston Villa’s 4-0 victory against Brentford last week demonstrated that the team had been playing in fear under the direction of the legendary Liverpool player following a poor run of results that led to his dismissal.
Unai Emery, a former manager of Arsenal, has subsequently been named the next manager, although he won’t take over until the beginning of November. Of course, the players will be eager to impress, but they will be playing one of the teams that is now the hardest to play against.
Newcastle United vs Aston Villa Prediction
With a quality roster at their disposal, Newcastle United will be focused on finishing in the top four this year. The likes of Miguel Almiron and Callum Wilson, who have both shown promise thus far, intend to make an impression this weekend.
Aston Villa has recently regained its strength, but they still have a long way to go before they can reclaim a spot in the top half of the standings. Newcastle United should be able to win this game because they are currently the better team.
I predict Newcastle United to defeat Aston Villa 2-1.
