da realsbet： It’s another sobering moment for Aston Villa and Newcastle this weekend.
da lvbet： The two former Premier League names face off in the Championship as they look to bounce back to where they feel they belong at the first time of asking.
So far, Newcastle have made the better job of it as the Villains have struggled to adapt to second tier life.
It was a worry that many of their fans had and their inconsistency this season could put paid to any promotion chances having won once, drawn five times and lost twice so far this year.
Nevertheless, Roberto Di Matteo will be confident he can turn things around ahead of playing the Magpies and despite drawing a lot, at least they’re not losing too many.
It could be a sign that things are about to improve, then, and here at Football FanCast we think Villa could take the victory if they go for this line-up…
Pierluigi Gollini
The young ‘keeper has been okay so Villa fans will be pretty happy with what he could become.
Nathan Baker
He’s played just three times this season but looks set for a decent run in the side now with Villa playing a back three.
Tommy Elphick
The former Bournemouth man knows this league well and could be a key asset to any promotion push.
James Chester
Chester also knows how to perform at this level and should start.
Leandro Bacuna
Bacuna is being asked to do the wing-back role and that might just be his best position.
Mile Jedinak
Jedinak is the battler Villa needed so should start.
Jack Grealish
Grealish will play but needs to start proving himself again.
Ashley Westwood
Westwood is a good footballer and will have to get on the ball a lot for Villa to win.
Jordan Amavi
Villa’s other wing-back, he’ll be key to giving the side some width against the Magpies.
Jordan Ayew
Ayew has the trickery to cause Newcastle problems and the Villains will need him on top form.
Rudy Gestede
Gestede can be a real handful with the right service and with Villa’s wide formation they’ll be hoping to do just that this weekend.
