Suffering a drop of form in their last four Premier League matches, Newcastle United are keen on ending that bad run this Sunday, February 23 when they face up against Aston Villa at St. James Park stadium. Playing in front of their home crowd, Alan Pardew's men will be pushing for nothing else aside from three points as that's the only way they can keep any slight of chance in competing for European spot finish by the end of this season.
Meanwhile, Villa themselves are no slouch either, despite their inconsistent form have basically put them stranded in mid-table side up till now. However, Paul Lamberts men always have that unexpected performance, especially against teams sitting ahead of them in the league standings. This tie will definitely attract many attention as both sides promised exciting attacking football that should provide entertainment for the fans.
Newcastle finally got themselves back into winning ways this weekend after snatching an important home victory over Aston Villa on Sunday. It was not an easy game at all for the home side as they were forced to wait until the final minutes before eventually sealing all three points thanks to a late strike from Loic Remy deep in stoppage time.
