Aston Villa face a trip to Newcastle United at St. James' Park on Monday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Villans will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 44 and win only 14 of the 72 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in August 2007, when they played out a goalless draw in a Premier League match.
