Match Facts

  • Aston Villa beat Newcastle 4-1 in April, but haven’t won consecutive Premier League games against the Magpies since completing the double over them in 2004-05.

  • Newcastle have lost five of their last six Premier League away games against Aston Villa, with the exception being a 3-1 victory in January 2024.

  • This is the second time in the last three seasons Aston Villa and Newcastle have met in their opening league match of the season, with the Magpies winning 5-1 at St. James’ Park in 2023-24.

  • Aston Villa won 2-1 at West Ham in their opening Premier League match last season, last winning on MD1 in consecutive campaigns between 2013-14 and 2015-16.

  • Newcastle have won their opening league match in each of the last three seasons, more times than they had in the previous 14 campaigns combined (W2 D4 L8).

  • Aston Villa are unbeaten in their last 21 home games in all competitions (W15 D6), winning the last eight in a row. It’s their longest run without defeat at Villa Park since a run of 24 between September 1976 and May 1977.

  • Though they still secured a top-five finish to qualify for the UEFA Champions League, Newcastle lost their last two Premier League games of 2024-25 (0-1 v Arsenal, 0-1 vs Everton). They last lost more consecutive games in December/January in 2023-24 (4), while they last did so without scoring in January 2021 (3).

  • Ollie Watkins – who became Aston Villa’s highest ever Premier League goalscorer last season – has scored in all four of his Premier League home games against Newcastle (5 goals). He also has two assists in these four games, only having a hand in more home league goals for the Villans against Brighton (8).

  • From April until the end of the 2024-25 season, Aston Villa’s Morgan Rogers assisted more Premier League goals than any other player (6). Across the full season, Rogers assisted 10 goals in open play, with only Mohamed Salah (18) and Jacob Murphy (11) having more.

  • Newcastle striker Alexander Isak has scored 11 goals in his last 13 Premier League away games. Since the first game in this run (October 27th), only Mohamed Salah has scored more on the road than the Swede (13).
