Aston Villa vs Newcastle - Premier League: TV channel, team news, lineups and prediction
Aston Villa host Newcastle United on Tuesday night hoping to firm up their place in the Premier League's top four against a side whose European aspirations this year have been wrecked by injuries.
Unai Emery's Villans sit fourth in England's top flight with the chance to go within two points of leaders Liverpool. They also remain alive in both the Europa Conference League and the FA Cup.
The Magpies' hopes of qualifying for continental football have been hit by four consecutive league defeats, though their victory over Fulham on Saturday night means there's still a chance for Eddie Howe to pick up his first trophy as club manager this season.
