Preview: Newcastle vs Aston Villa Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Premier League 2025-26

The previous outing between these clubs ended in a goalless draw.

Newcastle United are all set to lock horns with Aston Villa for their matchweek 23 fixture of the 2025-26 Premier League. This is going to be an interesting contest, taking place at St. James’ Park.

The Magpies are coming in after securing a 3-0 win in their UCL game against PSV. They will be looking to extend their winning run, but the upcoming game is not going to be an easy outing for them. The Eddie Howe-led Newcastle United have not been very consistent with their efforts in their last few matches.

Aston Villa outplayed Fenerbahce in their UEFA Europa League contest. They secured a 1-0 win. They have also lacked consistency in their last few matches. The Villans will be away from home and might be under some pressure. The Unai Emery-led side are in third place on the Premier League points table at the moment.
