Why Aston Villa Will Lose to Newcastle

1.  Newcastle are ahead in the table => Aston Villa assume they are the inferior team => Aston Villa plays defensive shell that they can't sustain => They do not sustain said defensive shell

2. Since October 1st 2013, Aston Villa have taken exactly 4 of 24 points from teams in the top half of the table.  And needed this:


 to earn two of those points.

3. Newcastle are not West Brom, the only team against which Aston Villa can score seemingly at will.

4.  According to NUFC.com, Newcastle have not lost 6 consecutive home games in over 50 years.

5. Remy and Tiote will be returning from suspension and injury, respectively.  And just in time to run past Villa's slow back line and run rampant through the disappearing midfield, respectively.

Predictions:

- Newcastle wins by a goal.  I can reasonably see any one goal score between 1-0 and 3-2 (though 1-0 seems much more likely with these two teams).

- Somehow, both my dad and I end up unhappy and unsatisfied with the first ever Fillebrown Derby.
