Aston Villa will have to beat another Premier League side if they want to progress again in the FA Cup.
Having already knocked out Tottenham, Unai Emery's side are eyeing a deep run into the competition, with their Premier League title hopes still showing a glimmer of hope.
Newcastle's form of late has been worrying, but they did beat strugglers Tottenham 2-1 to end Thomas Frank's time as manager earlier this week.

Aston Villa vs Newcastle: FA Cup preview
Aston Villa beat Spurs 2-1 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium back in January, with Emi Buendia and Morgan Rogers both finding the net.
The Villans are still in with a chance of catching leaders Arsenal for the Premier League title, but will have to be pretty much perfect between now and the end of the season.
A 1-0 win over Brighton earlier this week helped those hopes, with Jack Hinshelwood putting through his own net with only four minutes to go.
Rogers is the one to watch and is desperate to impress Thomas Tuchel, with this summer's 2026 World Cup in the USA right around the corner.

Newcastle finally ended their poor form of late with a 2-1 win at Spurs in midweek.
That victory helped end Frank's tenure, with the Magpies now eyeing a deep run into the FA Cup, something they haven't had much success with in recent years.
Knocked out in round three in three of the last five years, Eddie Howe will be hoping for a big win that will hopefully kickstart his side into gear for the rest of 2026.
FourFourTwo's prediction
Aston Villa 1-0 Newcastle
A narrow game will be settled in the first half, with Matty Cash speclative effort from range flying into the top corner.
