Aston Villa are unbeaten in their last six Premier League matches against Newcastle United (W2 D4). 

Villa won their final home match of the 2020/21 season. They last won consecutive home league games in January, with the second victory in that run coming against Newcastle.

Joe Willock can become just the fourth player to score in eight consecutive Premier League matches, after Ruud van Nistelrooy (twice), Jamie Vardy (twice) and Daniel Sturridge.

Callum Wilson’s five matches against Villa without a goal are the most he has faced an opponent without scoring.
