After dropping points in back-to-back Premier League games against Brentford and Bournemouth, Villa edged out a 1-0 win against Brighton at Villa Park, thanks to a late own goal to solidify their grip on third place.

Newcastle recently arrested a mini-freefall where they picked up just one win in nine across all competitions, by beating the beleaguered Tottenham in their last EPL outing. However, that was the Magpies' only away success in five outings. Eddie Howe's side have won just three of 13 away games in the EPL this term. The Geordies face a daunting upcoming run of league games against Man City, Everton, Man United, Chelsea and Sunderland and then an arduous journey to face Qarabag in the Champions League.

An FA Cup tie is potentially a nice distraction before all of that.

How to watch on the Big Screen

Watching on your phone or laptop is fine, but live sports belongs on the big screen. Here is how to get the VPN working on your TV:

• Smart TVs & Fire Stick: Most Android-based TVs and devices like the Amazon Fire TV Stick or Google Chromecast with Google TV have native VPN apps. Simply search for your VPN provider in the app store on your TV, log in, and connect just like you would on your phone.
• Apple TV, Roku & Consoles: These devices often don't support direct VPN apps. The easiest workaround is to use Smart DNS ( usually found in your VPN account settings) or Mirror/Cast the stream from your VPN-connected phone or laptop to your TV.
