Newcastle United will be hoping to record their sixth straight Premier League win when they travel to face in-form Aston Villa. The Magpies are in action at Villa Park in the televised lunchtime kick-off on Saturday, hoping to extend their advantage over Tottenham in the race for the top four.
Eddie Howe's side recorded a perfect week following the international break, opening up with an impressive home victory over Manchester United. This was followed by a thumping 5-1 midweek win at West Ham, and a comeback 2-1 success at Brentford just three days' later.
Miguel Almiron has returned to training following a recent thigh injury, and could be in line to feature against Villa. Allan Saint-Maximin is also making good progress from his own setback, although the clash with Unai Emery's side comes too soon for the Magpies' number 10.

Aside from that, Howe has an almost full squad to select from with Emil Krafth the only long-term absentee. The Newcastle head coach has the welcome selection dilemma of choosing between Alexander Isak and Callum Wilson, with both strikers hitting form ahead of the run-in.
Howe made two changes for the victory over the Bees, where he made a double change at the break by replacing Sean Longstaff and Jacob Murphy with Anthony Gordon and Wilson. Who should keep their place, and where should the Newcastle head coach freshen up his team?
