Newcastle take on Aston Villa as two of the most in-form teams in the Premier League clash at Villa Park on Saturday afternoon (12:30 GMT).
Newcastle are coming off the back of five impressive victories in which they showcased their ability to win in several different ways. After a confident display against Manchester United, a dismantling of West Ham and a tough comeback against Brentford, Eddie Howe will be looking for another three points to strengthen their Champions League bid.
Similarly, Aston Villa have been on a great run of form under Unai Emery, winning six of their last seven and finding themselves in sixth. A place in Europe is very much on the cards and a victory on Saturday against tough opposition would be a huge statement of intent.
This top of the table clash looks set to be an interesting affair and ChronicleLive has provided you with all the key information you need ahead of Saturday’s game.
