What is at stake for Newcastle United vs. Aston Villa?

After failing to win three consecutive matches across all competitions, Newcastle broke their winless run with an emphatic 3-0 triumph over PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League, and they will be aiming to build on that victory on Sunday. 

The Magpies could climb into the top four depending on results elsewhere, as they currently trail fourth-placed Liverpool by only three points. 

However, Newcastle face an Aston Villa side who are third in the table and looking to avoid dropping points for a third straight game. 

They trail league leaders Arsenal by seven points, and with the Gunners facing a difficult clash against Manchester United later on Sunday evening, the Villans will be hoping to secure all three points and apply the pressure on Mikel Arteta's side.
