A brand new EPL season is now upon us. Things kick off with the champions on Friday night at Anfield, but that's just the start. On Saturday, there are a host of games for soccer fans to get excited about including a fixture that takes place at Villa Park, where Aston Villa and Newcastle will face off. The previous season went well for both of these teams, with the Magpies finishing just above Saturday's hosts, beating the Villans to fifth spot on goal difference alone. Both clubs have made some positive moves in the summer transfer market, so it's reasonable to assume that both teams will be tough to face this time around. When they met at Villa Park last season, Unai Emery's men took revenge for a 3-0 defeat at St. James' Park, winning by four goals to one. Will we see something similar here? Or can the visitors provoke an unhappy reaction from what will be an expectant home crowd?Limited Offer. Currently at DraftKings

Our Aston Villa vs Newcastle Prediction
Having switched Nottingham for Newcastle, exciting winger/forward Anthony Elanga will be keen to make a positive start to the campaign for his new team, and I expect the pacey and direct Swede to go for goal in this game. After all, Elanga, as well as creating lots from wide positions, was a clear threat in front of goal last season, averaging a very decent 0.86 shots on target. In a more offensively powerful team, he could easily improve that number this season. Our Aston Villa vs Newcastle Pick: Anthony Elanga 1+ Shots on Target.
