This is a 10* EPL GOW on Newcastle United.

Aston Villa finished in seventh spot last year. It managed a 2-1 win last week vs. Valencia, but now the level of competition obviously is much greater.

Newcastle United finished fourth in last year's table, and they continue to excel over the last year. The Magpies slaughtered Villareal 4-0 in their final tune-up, and I'm expecting a similar destruction here as well on their own field of play.

Newcastle is unbeaten in its last 14 at home in this series, and I don't see that record being broken today.

Aston Villa has been a force under Unai Emery, and have an improved squad overall, but I see another disappointing result for the visiting side at the end of the day.

Lay the price, the play is NEWCASTLE UNITED.

Good luck, NP
