The 13th round of the Premier League ends with an interesting match scheduled in Birmingham, Monday evening, from 20:00pm. Aston Villa receives a visit to Newcastle United, in a match refereeed by Lee Mason.
Without Davis, Steer and Jota, injured, Aston Villa hopes to achieve success in front of a team that prefers cautious travel, where he rarely returns with points. Newcastle, led by Steve Bruce’s bank, cannot rely on Lascelles, Longstaff and Ritchie. Ciaran Clark is uncertain due to a thigh injury, but may become fit.
It is a duel between the groups involved in the relegation area. Aston Villa is in 17th place (17-20 goalscoring), and the Birmingham team is relieved by the departure of goalscorer Tammy Abraham, who returned to Chelsea in the summer. Without it, Villa’s main offensive weapons remained Wesley, El Ghazi, Trezeguet or Grealish, which Newcastle hoped to skillfully block. The “Cotofenele” are on the 13th place (11-18 goal), with 4 extra points.
Aston Villa is out of shape, coming after three consecutive defeats in the championship, but the program was not easy: 0-3 with Manchester City, 1-2 with Liverpool and 1-2 with Wolverhampton. In exchange, Newcastle have only one failure in the last five stages and look like a mature and well-organized team, after 1-0 with Manchester United, 3-2 with West Ham and 2-1 with Bournemouth. With talented players in the lot, blacks and whites have every chance to sign up.
Interestingly, Newcastle has not lost to Aston Villa since 2011, meaning 12 straight duels. In the last three visits to Villa Park, the “cotopenele” managed to leave with valuable draws, scores 1-1, 0-0 (twice). We bet again on a close game, in which the two defenses will be at the height. We do not exclude a surprise, that is a United victory!
