Newcastle United and Aston Villa meet in the league with both sides still finding their footing, but their moods are heading in opposite directions. The hosts have just lost 1-4 in their latest league match, while the visitors have just thrashed their opponents 6-0 in European competition. Newcastle United have collected 8 points from 6 matches, their attack is serviceable but their defence is leaky, having conceded 13 goals. Aston Villa, meanwhile, have collected 5 points from 6 matches, their defence is not particularly solid either, but they are unbeaten in their last five and have just scored a lot in their most recent match. If Aston Villa keep playing with this kind of confidence and sit back waiting for the counter, Newcastle United, who have to take the initiative at home, could find themselves in for a tough night, because the hosts' defence that concedes easily opens the door for the visitors to play on the break all game long.
