Villans had a phenomenal home track record last season; the home side will look to continue to carry the same momentum going into the fresh season. Unai Emery’s side started their preseason preparations with two consecutive defeats, but they soon bounced back and lost just one game in their last six outings, wrapping up their preseason with a 2-0 victory over Villarreal.

They finished last season with the same points as Newcastle but missed out on a UEFA Champions League spot on goal difference. As the new season gets underway, Villa will be determined to push themselves for an even better finish this time.

Newcastle United, meanwhile, will be pushing for a strong start this season after stealing a Champions League spot last season. Eddie Howe’s side had a poor time in their preseason campaign, failing to win a match in their six friendlies they played.

The Magpies also faced challenges in their summer preparations, struggling to finalize key transfers and dealing with multiple injuries to their star players.

The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times, and the latest lineup news.
