Newcastle United vs Aston Villa: Premier League preview
Villa's 0-0 draw at home against the Magpies was a sign of things to come, but only briefly. Ezri Konsa was sent off for denying an obvious goalscoring opportunity and there weren't any others.
Newcastle were toothless without a striker, Villa dreadful to a man. Now, Eddie Howe can call upon Nick Woltemade and Yoane Wissa while Villa flipped a switch and soared to third.
Injuries in midfield are threatening to make life difficult for the Villans as they battle on three fronts, one of which will pit them against Newcastle again in a few weeks' time.
Amadou Onana's return in their Europa League win at Fenerbahce on Thursday should help to offset the absences of Boubacar Kamara, John McGinn and Ross Barkley, but Villa's middle is spread thin.
Howe is dealing with some significant absences of his own. William Osula, Dan Burn and Bruno Guimaraes are doubts for Sunday, while Jacob Murphy, Emil Krafth and Tino Livramento are all out.
Habitual Villa killer Fabian Schar is likely to miss the rest of the season. Malick Thiaw and Sven Botman combined to keep PSV out in the Champions League on Wednesday.
Villa's record at St James' Park is awful. Remember when Kieron Dyer, Lee Bowyer and Steven Taylor were all sent off for Newcastle? That was in April 2005 and it was the last time Villa won on Tyneside.
Newcastle have won their last four home fixtures against Villa by an aggregate score of 13-1.
