This is a mouth-watering clash between two sides who’ll head into the game full of confidence after big results at the weekend.
Newcastle thumped Ipswich Town 4-0, which in fact was their second straight 4-0 thumping after they dispatched Leicester by the same scoreline the previous weekend. That ended a patchy run of results, so manager Eddie Howe will be hoping he can capitalise on this momentum as his side enter the busy festive period of fixtures.
As for Villa, they’ve also had a mixed time following a strong start to the season, but a 2-1 win against the Premier League champions Man City will have been a major boost. City are listing in extraordinary fashion right now, but a win against Pep Guardiola’s side never comes easily.
It’s Man City that separate these two sides in the Premier League, with Villa in sixth on 28 points and Newcastle in eighth on 26 points.

Watch Newcastle vs Villa in the UK
Usually, the 3pm kick-off slot is subject to a TV blackout in the UK, but on Boxing Day all Premier League fixtures will be televised on Amazon Prime Video.
Amazon has the rights to 20 Premier League games per season and is spreading them across two game weeks of total coverage, so after showing all 10 games from a mid-week round of fixtures earlier in December, it is back with every game across Boxing Day and December 27.
To tune in, you’ll need either a subscription to Amazon Prime Video, which costs £5.99 a month, or a general Amazon Prime membership, which is £8.99 a month and is used by many for free and fast deliveries on any Amazon purchases.
Either way, you could take advantage of a free trial of 30 days, so you could tune in for free and decide to cancel without having to pay a penny.
If you’re away from the UK for Christmas, you can still access your Amazon Prime Video coverage, by using a VPN, such as NordVPN.
