Aston Villa and Newcastle are set to face off in a crucial Premier League match, with both teams looking for a win.
Aston Villa is currently in fourth place in the league, trailing five points behind the leaders, Liverpool. However, they are tied on points with Manchester City and Arsenal, who are in second and third place, respectively.
Unai Emery's team had a strong start to the season but hit a rough patch over the Christmas period, with two goalless draws in their last two matches across all competitions. They are looking to regain momentum as they head into their upcoming game.
Newcastle, on the other hand, has struggled with injuries and currently sits in 10th place. They have lost four consecutive matches in the league but managed to secure victories over Sunderland and Fulham in the FA Cup, which has boosted their confidence heading into their next match.
The lineups for the upcoming game are as follows:
Aston Villa XI: Martinez; Konsa, Carlos, Lenglet, Moreno; Bailey, Luiz, Kamara, McGinn; Diaby, Watkins.
Newcastle XI: Dubravka; Trippier, Schar, Botman, Burn; Miley, Longstaff, Guimaraes; Murphy, Isak, Gordon.
Jacob Ramsey is back in training for Aston Villa after a hamstring injury, but may still miss out on the upcoming match. Several players, including Jhon Duran, Emiliano Buendia, Pau Torres, and Tyrone Mings, are long-term absentees for Aston Villa. Newcastle's Miguel Almiron missed their last FA Cup match due to illness and may return for the upcoming game. Kieran Trippier also has a groin injury that needs monitoring.
