Aston Villa v Newcastle United - Premier League

Villa Park will play host to the most played fixture in English football history, as Saturday marks the 215th meeting between the two sides. After a slow start to the season, four wins in their last five games sees Everton currently occupying seventh place, four points and one place above champions United. The upturn in form has been thanks to their loan signing Romelu Lukaku, who has started life at Everton like a duck to water.

Not to be undone, Aston Villa have their own Belgian behemoth in Christian Benteke, who has started this season from where he left off last year. The pair have scored four goals each and are joint second in the conversion rate with 28.6% of their shots resulting in goals, only behind Man City’s Aguero. With both strikers in such cracking form, it is sure to be goals galore on Saturday, in line with the meeting’s rich history and one that is certain to excite any neutrals watching.
