Sunday 2 September, KO 16.00

Newcastle look to be the real deal, rather than a one-season wonder. Aston Villa on the other hand just appear to have appointed a different captain of the Titanic – the ship is still sinking.

Paul Lambert has lost both league matches so far as Villa manager, however there was some midweek respite in the form of a convincing defeat of a good Tranmere side in the League Cup.

Match Odds

Newcastle 8/13
Draw 13/5
Aston Villa 5/1

Newcastle were unfortunate not to have got more out of their visit to Stamford Bridge last weekend and Alan Pardew will no doubt consider this a winnable fixture.

Everton ran amok against Villa last time out and the Magpies should be relied upon to cover the -1 handicap at 8/5, with strikers such as Papiss Cisse (pictured) and Demba Ba.

Likewise, get on Newcastle to score three plus goals with bet365 at 9/4. Everton should have had six last week and it would be an impressive achievement if Pardew’s team could match the Toffee’s profligacy.
