Key storylines & star players
Aston Villa vs Newcastle: The magpies fly as Bruno Guimares steers the ship in the center of the park while solid performances surround him.
Sven Botman and Nick Pope are solid behind him, and Kieran Trippier rips up the right side.
Allan Saint-Maximin and Alexander Isak are still hoping for a return to the lineup, but Jonjo Shelvey has returned.
Will he start before Joelinton, Sean Longstaff, or Joe Willock? Villa looked in very, very good form against Brentford and Danny Ings.
It’s a problem for Premier League defense because you only need half a chance to turn the threat into a number on the scoreboard.
Leon Bailey had a fantastic game, and Emiliano Buendía also looked unleashed, but being too offensive will be too much for the villains.
