Preamble
Both of these famous old clubs really enjoyed their recent taste of Champions League football; both of these famous old clubs fancy some more. It’s third versus seventh with five points between them and fifth place at the very least the goal. And if that doesn’t whet the appetite enough, Villa have won nine of their last ten in all competitions, while Newcastle are on a six-game winning tear that includes the claiming of their first domestic trophy in 70 years. This promises to be a cracker. Buckle up! Or buckle in. Probably best to do both. Kick-off is at 5.30pm BST. It’s on!
