Aston Villa did Newcastle a huge favour after they slipped into the relegation zone briefly but now would be a good time for Steve Bruce’s side to make their own destiny and find a win after relying on Fulham failing so far. The last time Newcastle won, eight matches ago, was also when Callum Wilson tore his hamstring, so the striker’s return feels like a potential ray of light to help scrape survival. Burnley look to be just about safe and will be keen to draw a line under last week’s capitulation at Southampton from 2-0 up. Graham Searles
