Three wins on the spin is the goal as Newcastle United go into Sunday's Premier League clash with Aston Villa as the side trending in the right direction in the match betting

Kieran Trippier's first goal for the club put the seal on a 3-1 victory over Everton last time out, which propelled the Magpies from the drop zone and extended their unbeaten run in the league to four games. The recent head-to-head between the sides also makes positive reading for home fans on Sunday as you have to go back 13 matches to 2005 to find the last time Aston Villa left St. James' Park with a victory.

The upturn in form has seen Newcastle backed into 13/8 from 7/4 to win back-to-back home matches for the first time this season, while Steven Gerrard's Aston Villa were eased slightly to 8/5 from 6/4 following their action-packed 3-3 draw with Leeds United on Wednesday night.

Goals will be expected again as both teams have scored in a league-high nine matches in front of home supporters this season at Newcastle, while seven of Aston Villa's eleven matches since Gerrard replaced Dean Smith in the dugout have also seen both sides find the net.

It's a hot 6/10 shot for both teams to score again, with strikers Chris Wood and Ollie Watkins fighting it out as joint favourites in the first goalscorer betting at 11/2 apiece. The New Zealand marksman has yet to score for his new club, but he won a match-high 12 aerial duels against Everton and is a 7/4 shot in the anytime goalscorer betting. Those odds are boosted to 11/2 if you fancy him to score the last goal of the game, a feat he pulled off in three of the four occasions he faced Aston Villa at his previous club Burnley.
