Aston Villa vs Newcastle United: Preview

Last season's rivals for a Champions League place will begin their respective Premier League seasons looking to make a statement right from the off.

Goal difference ultimately tipped the scales in Newcastle's favour as they claimed the fifth and final place at European football's top table, leaving sixth-placed Villa with the Europa League to look forward to as a consolation prize.

Both sides have had thorny summer transfer windows so far, albeit for different reasons.

Newcastle brought in the impressive Anthony Elanga from Nottingham Forest as their first senior signing for £55m last month, but it wasn't until earlier this week that their second signing - Milan centre-back Malick Thiaw - came through the door.

Speculation around Alexander Isak's future has been a hugely unwelcome distraction on top of that. The star striker did not join the rest of Eddie Howe's side on their trip to Asia this summer after the club turned down a bid from Liverpool and looks set to sit out the opening day...at very least.

Villa have been more productive when it comes to bringing players in, including Nice forward Evann Guessand - but the worry on many fans' minds is which players are going to leave before the end of the transfer window as they look to prop up their PSR position.

Jacob Ramsey looks set to become their first major departure...and as chance would have it, it looks like he will be heading to Newcastle.

Aston Villa vs Newcastle United: Expected line-ups

FourFourTwo's prediction

Aston Villa 2-2 Newcastle United

The most fence-sitting prediction we're likely to make this season. The two sides exchanged a pair of one-sided home victories last season with Newcastle winning 3-0 at St James' Park and Villa returning the favour with a 4-1 win at Villa Park. So why not split the difference with both sides scoring twice this time?
