Eddie Howe has just announced the Newcastle Team for the tough league game at Aston Villa tonight.
We were expecting Miggy Almiron to start but that’s not the case, but Almiron is on the bench, with Murphy keeping his place on the right wing.
Unchanged. ?

Our readers don’t think there’s not much chance of winning this game – but we shall see.

Comment #4Told you so.
Well I didn’t as I didn’t enter Eddie’s Bingo.
But Murphy to start and Miggy (after sickness ? ) on the bench seems right.

I really hope you are right – I went for a draw but I’d be delighted if we won!

Comment #18i dont think this is a season defing game but it would be nice to do the double on this lot, so much has gone wrong for us since the opening game of the season and no tmuch has gone wrong for the villa, no injury crisis fro them yer ,but there s still time….A draw seems attractive considering their home form and our poor away form , but in 90 mins anythings possible.

Comment #19It would be nice to get a goal tonight at Villa, our record there is woeful
We have failed to score in our last 4 away games there so even a goal would be a bonus.
I`ll stick with my 2-2 prediction.

Comment #21Come on the lads.think we can get 3points tonight.watched villa against Everton and they didn’t seem that hot to b honest.maybe they had an off day but watching them I didn’t fear them.if we can match there energy then we’ve more than enough quality out there to get the 3points.

Comment #25Hoping for an early goal as well. We usually come out strong and have a few good early chances but have struggled to capitalize on them. Hope things change today and we grab the early lead and force the game on them and come out with at least a point and continue on a positive note. HWTL!

Comment #26Well at least we have got Ally McCoist covering our game instead of some hoop licking homer who can`t say a good word about us, and he won`t shoot his bolt when the home team score.
