Aston Villa and Newcastle United both had losing starts to the Premier League, which they will be hoping to address going into the second week of matches. Villa fell 3-2 away to Watford while Newcastle were 4-2 losers at home to West Ham United. Hosts Villa responded to going down 3-0 in the Watford game but their comeback was a tad short and barred by time. Danny Ings scored a stoppage time penalty after John McGinn’s first in the 70th minute but Watford hung on to win 3-2. Villa no longer have their talisman, Jack Grealish but they still have the goals, having scored in four of their last five matches. In that run, they have scored two or more and they’ve ended with over 2.5 goals. The same is the case in their last four league matches – all have ended in over 2.5 goals and both teams have scored. Aston Villa are unbeaten in their last four meetings with Newcastle United.

Newcastle United twice led West Ham United in their opening game but the Hammers managed to come back and win 4-2. The Magpies can only hope for a better showing against Villa but they will need to improve defensively, having been badly exposed in their opening game, after a fine preseason. This was Newcastle United’s first loss in five matches; they have three wins in the run, and both sides have scored in three of the five. They have scored two or more goals in four and have added to their attack Joe Willock, who had a great run as a loanee from Arsenal. With Callum Wilson and Allan Saint Maximin also in, Newcastle are good in attack. They have a good run in away matches in the Premier League, unbeaten in the last four, and with three wins in there. They however have one clean sheet in the four matches, though they’ve scored two or more in three of them.

阿斯顿维拉和纽卡斯尔都在英超联赛中失利，他们希望在第二周的比赛中解决这个问题。维拉3-2负于沃特福德，纽卡斯尔主场4-2负于西汉姆联。在对阵沃特福德的比赛中，东道主比利亚在0:3落后的情况下做出了反击，但他们的反击有点短，而且被时间限制。丹尼·英格斯在第70分钟约翰·麦金恩的第一个进球后打进了补时阶段的点球，但沃特福德仍以3-2取胜。维拉不再拥有他们的护身符杰克·格里利什，但他们仍然有进球，在最近的五场比赛中有四场进球。在这一轮比赛中，他们已经进了两个或两个以上的球，最终他们的进球超过2.5个。在过去的四场联赛中也是如此——所有的比赛都有超过2.5个进球，而且两支球队都有进球。阿斯顿维拉在最近四次对阵纽卡斯尔的比赛中保持不败。

纽卡斯尔联在揭幕战中两度领先西汉姆联，但铁锤队成功反败为胜，以4-2取胜。喜鹊只能希望在对维拉的比赛中有更好的表现，但是他们需要提高防守，在赛季前的一场比赛中他们暴露的很严重。这是纽卡斯尔联队五场比赛以来的首场失利;他们已经取得了三场胜利，而且在五场比赛中，双方都有三场得分。他们已经在四场比赛中打进了两个或两个以上的进球，并且从阿森纳租借过来的乔·威洛克也加入了他们的进攻阵容。卡勒姆·威尔逊和阿兰·圣·马克西明也在，纽卡斯尔的进攻很好。他们在英超联赛的客场比赛中表现良好，前四场不败，其中有三场胜利。然而，他们在四场比赛中有一场没有失球，尽管他们在其中三场比赛中有两个或更多的进球。
