Aston Villa host Newcastle United on Tuesday night hoping to firm up their place in the Premier League's top four against a side whose European aspirations this year have been wrecked by injuries.
Unai Emery's Villans sit fourth in England's top flight with the chance to go within two points of leaders Liverpool. They also remain alive in both the Europa Conference League and the FA Cup.
The Magpies' hopes of qualifying for continental football have been hit by four consecutive league defeats, though their victory over Fulham on Saturday night means there's still a chance for Eddie Howe to pick up his first trophy as club manager this season.

Aston Villa vs Newcastle score prediction
Villa Park has been a cauldron for the best of teams to visit so far this season, with Emery's side boasting the best home record of the Premier League in 2023/24 having taken 28 points from ten games.
That record, combined with Newcastle's troubles away from St James' Park - the Magpies have won just one league game away from home all term - points to another boosting win for Villa as they chase qualification for European competition.
