That effort made it three goals in his last two league games for the new number nine, after he struck twice in his final appearance last season in the 4-2 away victory at Leicester City, before the side went on to finish the campaign with a second consecutive win on the road with a 2-0 win at Fulham.

The Magpies went four-in-a-row unbeaten away from home in the league at the end of last season, three of which were victories, so confidence is high that they can continue that run against an Aston Villa side who are also chasing their first win of the new season having been beaten by newly-promoted Watford on opening weekend.

A Newcastle victory at Villa Park has been clipped into 3/1 from 7/2 this week and it's Wilson who is catching the eye in the goalscoring markets. He is 5/1 from 11/2 to open the scoring with BoyleSports, who also chalked him up at 6/4 to find the net at any time during Saturday's 3pm (BST) kick-off.

That 6/4 has been enhanced exclusively for Toon Army fans this weekend to a whopping 3/1, so there will be plenty of satisfied punters on Tyneside on Saturday evening if Wilson continues his scoring form.
