Newcastle arrive off the back of ending a seventy-year domestic trophy drought by lifting the EFL Cup and securing a fifth-place finish. They were the tenth-best away side last season, picking up twenty-eight points, but their shot profile showed they conceded more in dangerous areas than they created, with a -1.06 SiB (shots in the box) differential.
Both clubs enter the campaign with European football ahead with Villa in the Europa League and Newcastle in the Champions League. Aston Villa will look to maintain their home dominance, while Newcastle aim to show they can win on the road against top-half opposition. With both squads undergoing changes, this opener offers an early test of whether their summer work has been enough to close the gap to the leagueβs elite.
