Aston Villa will look to bounce back from their UEFA Champions League semi-final heartbreak when they face in-form Newcastle United in a challenging Premier League matchup this Saturday.
The Villans will head into this clash after a heartbreak in the UEFA Champions League semi-final. Despite an excellent comeback 3-2 victory against Paris Saint-Germain in the second leg, they were still eliminated after losing 4-5 on the aggregate.
The hosts picked up an impressive 3-0 victory against Southampton in their last Premier League outing. With a Champions League qualification on the line, this matchup will become a decider for Unai Emery's side.
On the other hand, Newcastle United are coming to Villa Park on the back of phenomenal form. They extended their winning streak to six matches across all the competition after a 5-0 crushing of Crystal Palace in their last Premier League outing. With 59 points in 32 matches, they hold the third spot in the Premier League leaderboard.
