Tuesday night lights up Villa Park with a Premier League battle between ambitious teams! Aston Villa, soaring near the top of the table, welcomes Newcastle United, who surprised everyone last season. Kickoff is at 8:15 PM UTC, and sparks are sure to fly!
Aston Villa, nicknamed the Villans, have been exciting fans with their attacking football. They're sitting pretty in the top four, but recent draws have them chasing wins again. Ollie Watkins and Leon Bailey are their goal-scoring heroes, and the home crowd will be roaring them on to victory.
Newcastle, nicknamed the Magpies, were flying high last season but haven't quite hit the same heights this year. They could even drop into the bottom half of the table if they lose tonight. Miguel Almirón and Bruno Guimarães are still dangerous attackers, and they'll be desperate to pull off an upset against the top four contenders.
