Preview: Aston Villa vs Newcastle United Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | FA Cup 2025-26

The Villans are undefeated in their last three matches against the Magpies.

Aston Villa are all set to battle it out against Newcastle United for their fourth-round contest of the 2025-26 FA Cup. This is going to be an intense outing between these clubs, taking place at Villa Park.

The Unai Emery-led side have performed decently in their last few matches and will be confident for their next one. They will be at home and it is going to be a big advantage for them going into the game. Aston Villa recently outplayed the Magpies and will be looking to come up with a similar result once again.

The Eddie Howe-led side have not been in good form lately and the upcoming FA Cup outing is going to be a tough one for them. They are coming in after securing a win against Tottenham in the Premier League. Newcastle United will be eager to keep their momentum going and must come up with a top performance.

Harvey Barnes (Newcastle United)

Harvey Barnes is a capable winger and is going to play a crucial part in the final third for Newcastle United.
