Aston Villa in the Premier League is chasing “Liverpool,” who has slightly pulled ahead in the standings. Birmingham’s team has accumulated 43 points, the same as “Manchester City” and “Arsenal.” The gap from the Merseysiders before the start of the 22nd round is five points. In the last round, Unai Emery’s team failed to secure a victory away against “Everton” (0:0). It’s worth noting that the team performs most successfully at home, where they have won nine out of ten matches since the beginning of the season in the Premier League. In the FA Cup’s 1/16 finals, “Aston Villa” played to a draw with “Chelsea” (0:0), and a replay awaits them. Today, forward Bertrand Traor?, who is participating in the African Cup of Nations, as well as the injured defender Tyrone Mings and forward Emiliano Buend?a, will not take the field.
Newcastle in the Premier League has suffered four consecutive defeats and currently occupies only the tenth position in the table. Some consolation for fans comes from their success in the FA Cup, where victories over “Sunderland” (3:0) and “Fulham” (2:0) helped them reach the 1/8 finals. Throughout the season, the “Magpies” have struggled in away games, ranking as one of the worst teams in the Premier League in terms of points earned on the road only five points from nine matches. Their only away victory in the Premier League was against “Sheffield United” in September. Newcastle still has several players sidelined. Thus, due to injuries, forward Harvey Barnes, midfielders Joseph Willock and Elliot Anderson, goalkeeper Nick Pope, and defender Matt Targett will miss today’s game.
