The Magpies have won five games in a row as they make the trip to Villa Park, but will do so without star man Allan Saint-Maximin after the Frenchman picked up a hamstring injury, one that ruled him out of the win over Brentford last weekend.
There is some good news for Eddie Howe though as Miguel Almiron is back in the squad faster than anticipated after his thigh injury.
Unai Emery, meanwhile, has a fair few injury concerns but will go into the game full of confidence having seen his time pick up 19 points from their last seven games.
