Both sides come into this match in a good form. They are both unbeaten in their last six games having won three and drawn three respectively.
In fact if you go back a few more games Newcastle have only lost once in ten games and are unbeaten in seven and the Villians have only lost one in twelve although they have drawn three of their last four.
Both teams have drawn away at Fulham and that shows there is very little on the form book to differenciate the sides.
Heskey is still out for Villa and there is a slight chance Arfa will be fit for Newcastle.
DAILY SPORT SAYS – Paddy Power go 5/2 the draw and that is the play.
