How do the two teams set up?
Confirmed line-ups land about an hour before kick-off.
Home

Well organised and hard to play through, Newcastle usually earn results at St James' Park by winning the midfield battle.
Away
Aston Villa
Well organised and hard to play through, Villa usually earn results on their trip to St James' Park by winning the midfield battle.
What would change our mind?
The developments we would react to before kick-off.
If Newcastle name a weakened XI
Rotation or a key absence would take several points off their win chance; check line-ups an hour before kick-off.
If Villa score first
The favourite has to chase, and both the draw and the upset become much more likely.
If a red card comes in the first hour
Ten men changes the expected-goals picture entirely, whichever side it hits.
The story of Newcastle vs Villa

We project 1.73 expected goals for Newcastle and 1.00 for Villa; run that through thousands of simulated matches and Newcastle win 54% of them.
