Early team newsAston Villa quartet Youri Tielemans, John McGinn, Boubacar Kamara and Andres Garcia are all sidelined with injuries, but recent signing Alysson ought to feature today after the 19-year-old winger recovered from a knee problem. Absent from Villa’s midweek win over Brighton, Matty Cash is also expected to miss today’s game. Newcastle fans are reeling from the news that Bruno Guimaraes will miss the next eight to 10 games with a hamstring injury, while Joelinton, Tino Livramento, Fabian Schar and Emil Krafth all remain sidelined. Lewis Miley is receiving daily scans on a dead leg and is unlikely to be risked here, given the intensity of Newcastle’s looming schedule. Having declined to select either of his centre-forwards Yoane Wissa or Nick Woltemade to start against Spurs on Tuesday in a gamble that paid off in fine style, it will be interesting to see how Eddie Howe approaches tonight’s game.
