Newcastle vs Aston Villa match preview, where to watch the game live stream, and on TV and world time zones.

Newcastle United fans have plenty to celebrate this festive season as their team enjoys a fine run of form.

Two consecutive 4-0 wins in the Premier League, coupled with a 3-1 victory over Brentford that secured a spot in the EFL Cup semi-finals, have lifted spirits on Tyneside. After a brief dip earlier in the campaign, these back-to-back league triumphs by four-goal margins—the first time since 1998—have brought them closer to the coveted European qualification spots.

The atmosphere at St James’ Park is set to be electric on Boxing Day as Newcastle welcome Aston Villa. The Magpies have been strong at home recently, going unbeaten in their last three matches across all competitions. Their record against Villa on home soil further adds to the excitement, with no defeats in this fixture since 2005. Over that period, they’ve won 10 and drawn six of their meetings, including the last two clashes, both of which ended in dominant four-goal victories. However, Newcastle’s Boxing Day record at home in the Premier League has been patchy, with just one win in their last four outings on this day—a victory that, coincidentally, also came by a four-goal margin.

Villa fans, too, have reason to be cheerful this holiday season. Their impressive 2-1 win over Manchester City has cemented their position in the top six, and they’ve claimed victory in three of their last four league fixtures. Unai Emery has instilled confidence in his side, and his optimism after the City win was palpable. With Villa losing just one league game this season to teams currently sitting below them, they’ll arrive in Newcastle with plenty of belief.

However, their record at St James’ Park casts a long shadow. Villa haven’t tasted victory in this fixture since 2005, and their away form in the Premier League this season has been shaky. Four consecutive away losses, conceding an average of 2.75 goals per match, mark their worst such run in a single campaign since the end of their ill-fated 2015/16 season, which ended in relegation. Emery will be keen to address these frailties and deliver a statement result on Tyneside.

The midfield battle promises to be a fascinating contest, with Bruno Guimarães and John McGinn both in excellent form. Guimarães has been instrumental for Newcastle, contributing three goal involvements in his last three matches across all competitions. Remarkably, Newcastle have won every Premier League game in which he’s scored. On the opposing side, McGinn has matched Guimarães with three goal involvements in his last three outings and has shown a knack for opening the scoring, doing so in five of his last six club goals.

One area of concern for Villa is their late-game vulnerability. They’ve conceded seven goals after the 80th minute in the Premier League this season, the joint-highest in the competition. If this trend continues, Newcastle’s relentless style and strong finishes could spell trouble for the visitors.

As the two sides prepare to lock horns, the stakes are clear. Newcastle are determined to maintain their momentum and push closer to the European spots, while Villa aim to solidify their position in the top six. With both teams boasting quality and confidence, this Boxing Day clash promises excitement, intensity, and plenty of festive cheer for football fans.
