Newcastle team news

Striker Alexander Isak continues his phenomenal form, having scored nine goals in his last nine games, including a hat-trick at Portman Road on Saturday. Villa will need to neutralize Isak's threat to secure a victory at St. James' Park.

Manager Eddie Howe faces several injury challenges, particularly in defence. Sven Botman, Jamal Lascelles, and Emil Krafth are unavailable, while goalkeeper Nick Pope is expected to remain out until mid-January due to a knee injury. Forward Callum Wilson also remains sidelined with a hamstring issue.

Aston Villa team news

Midfielder Jacob Ramsey has resumed full training, raising hopes of his availability for the Boxing Day clash against Newcastle United. However, his participation remains uncertain.

Ramsey was the only first-team absentee in Villa’s recent match against Manchester City due to injury.
