Newcastle's Fortress: Unbeaten Streak vs. Villa
23 Jan
Summary
- Newcastle has not lost to Aston Villa at home in 17 league games.
- Aston Villa's recent scoring drought contrasts with Newcastle's home form.
- Eddie Howe is nearing a managerial milestone with another win.
Newcastle United's St James' Park has been a fortress against Aston Villa, with the Magpies remaining unbeaten in their last 17 home league encounters, including four consecutive victories. This season, Newcastle has secured wins against Crystal Palace and Leeds at home in 2026, aiming for their third straight home win of the year.
In stark contrast, Aston Villa is experiencing a goal-scoring drought, failing to score in their last two Premier League games despite numerous shots. This comes after a productive period where they scored frequently between MD11 and MD20. Villa's away form has been strong overall, however, earning the second-most away points this season.
Manager Eddie Howe is nearing a significant personal milestone, with one more Premier League win to equal Roy Hodgson's record for victories by an English manager. Newcastle's home scoring prowess is also notable, having scored two or more goals in their last eight home games, a feat not seen since 1931-32.
