We simulated Newcastle vs Aston Villa with Guimaraes starting to get a score prediction

Newcastle United will be looking to secure their third consecutive league win this weekend, as they host Aston Villa in the Premier League on Sunday.

After going 1-0 down against Everton in midweek, the Magpies fought back and earned themselves a 3-1 victory in their last league outing, with an own goal, and goals from Ryan Fraser and Kieran Trippier, sealing the win. The result against Everton was Newcastle's second consecutive league win, and a win or draw against Villa on Sunday would extend Eddie Howe ’s unbeaten run to five Premier League games, potentially moving the Toon four points clear of the relegation zone.

With Matt Targett on loan at Newcastle from Villa, the left-back is unavailable for selection on Sunday, meaning Dan Burn could be handed his Newcastle debut against Gerrard's side at left-back.

Howe has confirmed that he will make a 'late call' on whether Kieran Trippier will be fit enough to face Villa, with the defender coming off injured in the last few minutes against Everton. January signing Bruno Guimiares could also make his full Magpies debut on Sunday, with Howe confirming the Brazilian is 'ready to play'.

So, what line-up will the Magpies select? And, what could the final score be?
