Chasing Champions League qualification, wounded Aston Villa will welcome Newcastle United to Villa Park for a blockbuster Premier League clash on Saturday.
Unai Emery’s side were knocked out of the UEFA Champions League semi-final after losing to PSG with a close-fought 4-5 aggregate total. Shifting their focus from that heartbreak, the Villans are gearing up to face an in-form Newcastle United in their next assignment.
With a Champions League spot on the line, the Villans will need to go toe-to-toe against the Magpies. With 54 points from 32 outings, the hosts are sitting five points behind the visitors.
Meanwhile, Newcastle United, with their six-match unbeaten streak across all the competitions, are coming into this clash after crushing Crystal Palace 5-0 in their last Premier League outing.
With this win, the Magpies moved to third place in the Premier League leaderboard. Keeping their consistency and unshakable form in mind, they will definitely pose a threat to the host’s Champions League qualification.
