Aston Villa vs Newcastle United team news
Unai Emery is facing a serious midfield dilemma, with Boubacar Kamara out for the season with a knee injury, while Youri Tielemans and John McGinn are out for at least the next month-and-a-half with ankle and knee problems, respectively. Andres Garcia is also out until the end of this month with a hamstring injury, but has only played four games all season anyway. Matty Cash missed the win against Brighton in mid-week and may well sit this match out as well.
Howe isn’t exactly blessed when it comes to fitness at the moment either. Bruno Guimaraes is a major doubt after limping out late against Tottenham, and even if fit, he may well be rested here. Fellow midfielders Lewis Miley and Joelinton are both out until the end of February with knee and thigh problems, respectively, while Emil Krafth is not yet ready to return. Fabian Schar has a long-term ankle problem, while we won’t see Tino Livramento until the middle of next month as he continues to nurse a hamstring problem.
Given the intense schedule Howe’s side have faced across four competitions, including the Champions League returning on Wednesday, he may well choose to heavily rotate his side here, where options allow.
- Aston Villa predicted XI: Bizot; Bogarde, Konsa, Torres, Maatsen; Luiz, Onana; Sancho, Barkley, Buendia; Abraham.
- Newcastle predicted XI: Ramsdale; Trippier, Thiaw, Burn, Hall; Willock, Tonali, Ramsey; Murphy, Wissa, Barnes
