Newcastle United and Aston Villa will close Saturday’s action of the Premier League 2023/24 opening round. The home side hopes for another successful campaign, while the visitors eye the top-half finish again.

Newcastle United Preview & Team News

Newcastle United enjoyed a tremendous campaign last season, finishing at high 4^th place and securing a Champions League ticket. However, staying at these heights is harder than climbing to them, so the Magpies are set for another successful season. Eddie Howe’s side was quite confident at St. James’ Park last time out, losing only two times in 18 matches. The Magpies have spent more than £130 million on new signings this summer, among which Sandro Tonali is the most expensive one. On the other hand, Chris Wood moved to Nottm Forest, while Allan Saint-Maximin signed for the Saudi side Al Ahli. Newcastle United has been quite good during the pre-season, as they faced several strong rivals and didn’t lose. Nevertheless, this is the first competitive game of the season, and the hosts want to kick off strongly.

Aston Villa Preview & Team News

Aston Villa made a huge transformation from a relegation-threatened team to the Europa Conference League quals spot. Unai Emery wants to continue with good results and secure another top-half finish for his side. The Villans managed to upgrade their squad by keeping last season’s key players and adding a pair of good signings. The Spanish centre-back Pau Torres came from Villarreal, while Moussa Diaby made a move from Bayer Leverkusen in a £47.5 million deal. Interestingly, Aston Villa didn’t lose in the pre-season as well, beating Lazio and Valencia in their two most recent games. Although this is a tough outing, the away side hopes to pick up points from the trip to Newcastle.
