Chris Sutton has given his prediction for the upcoming match between Aston Villa and Newcastle on April 15, 2023.
Eddie Howe's side are set to face the Villains in the Premier League's next matchday on Saturday afternoon.
Following the 1 - 2 victory over Brentford last weekend, the Magpies have maintained their place third in the table, Villa, meanwhile, sitting sixth in the domestic league after their spectacular unbeaten run.
Writing on BBC, the pundit predicted the result of the match, claiming that Newcastle are the favorite to take the three points.
"Both of these teams are in such good form - Aston Villa have won their past four games, while Newcastle are on a run of five wins in a row.
"The obvious result is a draw, but I am actually going to keep on backing Newcastle because I was really impressed with their second-half display at Brentford last week.
"I really admire what Unai Emery has done at Villa too, and they have enough firepower to cause the Magpies problems here but I just feel like Newcastle's quality will edge it."
