Aston Villa have scored 18 goals in their last six matches. Newcastle United have scored nine and conceded 11, and were beaten 1-4 at Coventry City five days before this one. The two meet in the Premier League at St James' Park, Newcastle upon Tyne, on Saturday, 17 October 2026, kick-off 17:30 BST.
Ten points from their last six, won 3, drawn 1, lost 2. The two defeats were both away and both by the same score: 1-4 at Leeds United 33 days before this fixture, and 1-4 at Coventry City five days before it. Only one match fell between them, a 2-1 home win over Hull City.
The rest of the run is better than those two afternoons suggest. Newcastle won 2-0 at Tottenham Hotspur 49 days out and 1-0 at Millwall in the EFL Cup 39 days out, which are their two clean sheets in six. They have not failed to score in any of the six.
What they have not done is defend consistently. Conceded two or more in 3 of 6. At home it reads won 1 of 2, the Hull win alongside a 2-2 draw with Bournemouth.
Thirteen points from six, with 18 scored and 8 conceded, and a 6-0 win over Fenerbahçe at Villa Park in the UEFA Champions League three days before this match.
Villa have won 3 of 3 away: 3-1 at Coventry City in the EFL Cup 31 days out, 3-2 at Tottenham Hotspur 28 days out, and 3-1 at Sevilla in a friendly 15 days out. Home has been the awkward end. One win from three there, with a 1-2 defeat by Nottingham Forest 35 days before this fixture and a 2-2 draw with Brentford seven days before it, both at Villa Park, before the Fenerbahçe night.
