The first Saturday tea-time fixture of the 2023/24 Premier League campaign should be a cracker as two clubs on the rise, Newcastle United and Aston Villa, meet at St James’ Park.

The Magpies are bidding to build on last season’s fourth-place finish – their best in the top flight of English football for 20 years – but Eddie Howe has the added beast of the Champions League to contend with.

Summer signings Sandro Tonali and Harvey Barnes should make their competitive debuts for Newcastle against Aston Villa, although fellow new boy Tino Livramento is likely to be eased in having missed the bulk of last term through injury.

Villa’s decision to replace Steven Gerrard with Unai Emery midway through the 2022/23 campaign proved to be a masterstroke as the former Arsenal boss dragged the club from the relegation battle to Europa Conference League qualification.

Just like Newcastle, Villa have also splashed the cash in a bid to consolidate their place in the upper echelons of the Premier League with Moussa Diaby, Youri Tielemans and Pau Torres making their way through the arrivals door this summer.
