Aston Villa host Newcastle in a Monday Night Football clash with both sides experiencing contrasting fortunes in recent weeks.

Villa had been going along nicely in the Premier League, but three successive defeats have left them perched just above the relegation zone.

Boss Dean Smith will be quick to point out two of those fixtures that came against Liverpool and Manchester City, but his side must make the most of games against teams around them, including this one. Newcastle have picked themselves up from a woeful start to go unbeaten in three, with victories in their last two outings.

Steve Bruce will be determined to build a head of steam going into the festive fixture pile-up.

Kick-off time and venue

The match between Newcastle United against Aston Villa will take place at St James’s Park on Friday, March 12.

Kick-off is scheduled for 8 pm, according to Shields gazette.

Ryan Fraser and Joelinton started for Bruce upfront but Friday’s game could see the return of either Dwight Gayle or Andy Carroll to the starting XI as Newcastle eye an added goal threat against Aston Villa.

Forwards Miguel Almiron, Allan Saint-Maximin and Callum Wilson are all on the Magpies’ injury list.

Right-back Emile Kraft was handed a start against West Brom and is in line to feature again against Aston Villa.

Who will win?

Villa performed admirably against Liverpool but failed to trouble Wolves often enough during their pre-international break clash.

They desperately need to turn up in games against potential table rivals, a message Smith will surely relay to his team ahead of this one.

Newcastle are steadily grinding into gear, but desperately needs their plucky frontline of Joelinton, Miguel Almiron and Allan Saint-Maximin to start providing a consistent flow of goals.
