Two Premier League sides in contrasting form clash in the FA Cup.
Aston Villa vs Newcastle
Aston Villa vs Newcastle Form
Aston Villa come into the tie in strong shape, winning four of their last six matches across all competitions. Victories over Fenerbahce, Salzburg, Newcastle and Brighton highlight consistency at both domestic and European level, with their only defeat in that run a narrow loss to Brentford.
Newcastle United arrive with mixed momentum, losing four of their last six matches in all competitions. Defeats to Aston Villa, Liverpool, Manchester City and Brentford exposed defensive issues, although a draw away at Paris Saint-Germain and an impressive win at Tottenham show they can still compete against strong opposition.

Aston Villa vs Newcastle Match Prediction
Unai Emery’s side sit third in the Premier League and arrive in form (W4 D1 L1 in their last six), having already beaten Tottenham in the previous FA Cup round and recently defeated the Magpies 2-0.
They are also unbeaten in their last three meetings with Newcastle United (W2 D1), conceding just once. Newcastle’s away numbers are a major concern - just three wins in 13 league road trips this season and defeats in 10 of their last 13 FA Cup away ties against Premier League opposition, failing to score in eight of the last nine.
With Villa’s home control and Newcastle juggling a heavy schedule and injuries it favours the hosts
Score Prediction: Aston Villa 2-1 Newcastle
