Aston Villa Preview – Can Villa record first home win?
This Saturday will be Aston Villa’s first home game of this new Premier League season and the hosts will be looking to bounce back from their opening day 3-2 loss away from home at Watford last weekend.
Villa will be particularly disappointed with the way they started last week as Watford went 3-0 up before the west midlands club staged a late comeback to within a goal of The Hornets, so manager, Dean Smith, will be demanding a better start to this game from his players.
Results at home were a mixed bag last season but the hosts did manage to register notable wins at Villa Park against the likes of Newcastle United, Arsenal and Chelsea, so Villa stand a good chance of getting a result here today.
Newcastle United Preview – Can Magpies bounce back?
Newcastle United looked promising against West Ham in last weekend’s season-opener at St James Park especially as they were 2-1 up just before the break but The Magpies imploded in the second half as West Ham scored three unanswered goals to win 4-2.
Newcastle now face a tricky trip down to the west midlands for this Saturday’s clash against Aston Villa and although they’re unbeaten in their last four matches on the road in the English top flight, they’ve found it difficult to get the better of Aston Villa in previous exchanges.
