A week is a long time in football, as the old cliche goes, and that is certainly the case for Aston Villa. They looked like a club in crisis when Steven Gerrard was sacked off the back of last week’s 3-0 defeat to Fulham but there is renewed excitement amongst fans after the weekend’s 4-0 victory and the appointment of Unai Emery.
Supporters will have to wait a little longer to see the Spaniard in action with caretaker boss Aaron Danks, the architect of the thrashing of Brentford, set to be in the dugout as Aston Villa take on Newcastle at St James’ Park on Saturday while the new manager waits for his work permit.
Emery looks like a real coup for the Villa Park outfit – not least because he reportedly turned down the Magpies’ advances almost a year ago.
Lots has changed at the North East club in that time, with Eddie Howe the coach picked by the Saudi Arabia PIF to lead the club forward.
Their improvement under the former Bournemouth boss was clear to see as they beat Tottenham on Sunday to move into the top four, and the Magpies will go in search of a fifth victory in six games on Saturday.

Our prediction: Newcastle v Aston Villa
Newcastle look set to be without Alexander Isak and Allan Saint-Maximin once again but that’s not been an issue for Howe’s side of late – with Miguel Almiron and Callum Wilson picking up the slack.
The win over Spurs to move into the top four felt like a milestone moment on their journey but wins in games like this one will be vital to their top four hopes as well.
The Aston Villa squad produced quite the post-Gerrard response last weekend and the players will be highly motivated again as they look to showcase their quality to the new boss.
Our prediction: Newcastle 2-2 Aston Villa (16/1 at bet365)
