THE TEAM NEWS
ASTON VILLA
Former Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain boss Unai Emery has said that defensive duo, Pau Torres and Lucas Digne, have actually had set-backs in their recovery so will be unavailable for this week’s clash with Newcastle United.
England under-21 international Jacob Ramsey could make the 18 but it has been described as a late call, whilst Emi Buendia and Tyrone Mings remain long-term injury concerns. Jhon Duran is also expected to miss this one and Bertrand Traore is still at AFCON with Burkina Faso.
PREDICTED XI (4-4-2): Martinez; Konsa, Carlos, Lenglet, Alex Moreno; Bailey, Kamara, Luiz, McGinn; Diaby, Watkins
UNAVAILABLE: Buendia (Injured), Mings (Injured), Duran (Injured), Digne (Injured), Torres (Injured), Traore (International duty)
QUESTIONABLE: Ramsey (Injured)
NEWCASTLE
Eddie Howe has said that he has hope that Miguel Almiron, who has been linked with a move to Saudi Pro League side Al-Ettifaq, will be able to return to the squad for this week’s trip to the midlands to face Aston Villa.
Jamaal Lascelles, though, is expected to miss out on the trip to Villa Park. Harvey Barnes and Callum Wilson are both long-term absentees who are returning but remain unavailable, whilst Kieran Trippier is expected to be available.
PREDICTED XI (4-3-3): Dubravka; Trippier, Schar, Botman, Burn; Miley, Guimaraes, Longstaff; Almiron, Isak, Gordon
UNAVAILABLE: Tonali (Suspended), Joelinton (Injured), Pope (Injured), Targett (Injured), Willock (Injured), Anderson (Injured), Barnes (Injured), Wilson (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE: Almiron (Illness), Lascelles (Injured), Trippier (Injured)
THE PREDICTION
This one is a hugely intriguing game on Tuesday evening as two of the pretenders to the so-called ‘big six’ do battle at Villa Park. Aston Villa are aiming to maintain a genuine title push as they welcome a Newcastle United seeking to turn their form around. The Magpies did manage a 2-0 defeat over Fulham at the weekend but they have suffered six defeats in their last seven matches in the Premier League. Both teams scoring would appear a good bet for this one as Villa welcome an improving visiting side to the midlands.
TIP: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE
