Newcastle host Aston Villa at St. James’ Park on Saturday, October 17 (12:30 PM ET \/ 11:30 AM CT \/ 9:30 AM PT).<\/strong><\/p>\n

Newcastle check on a cluster of doubts before this one, with Anthony Elanga, Dan Burn, Amar Dedic, Lewis Miley and William Osula all carrying issues into the week, while out Ewen Jaouen and out Valentino Livramento are not involved at all. Joseph Willock and Harvey Barnes look set to carry Newcastle’s attacking load regardless, Barnes having created ten chances and set up two goals in his appearances so far this season. Aston Villa travel without out Amadou Onana, out Ian Maatsen, out Modou Cisse, out Leon Goretzka and out Matteo Ruggeri, a heavy list that leaves John McGinn and Nicolas Jackson to carry the visitors forward, Jackson arriving with two goals from twelve shots in his six appearances.<\/p>\n

Newcastle have eight points from six league matches, with two wins and two draws offsetting two losses, while Aston Villa have taken five points from the same number of games, winning once and drawing twice against three defeats. Both defences have shipped more than they’d like this season, Newcastle’s minus three goal difference and Villa’s minus five telling a similar story at each end of the pitch. With Newcastle scoring regularly at St James’ Park and Villa capable of hitting back through Jackson or McGinn, this has the look of a game with goals in it rather than a stalemate.<\/p>\n\n\n
