Aston Villa vs Newcastle United team news: Emery and Howe name lineups in FA Cup
The confirmed team news for Aston Villa vs Newcastle United in the FA Cup fourth round.
Unai Emery and Eddie Howe have named their starting lineups and substitutes for this evening’s FA Cup fourth round clash between Aston Villa and Newcastle United.
The two teams have arrived at Villa Park for the hotly anticipated all-Premier League cup encounter under the lights. As much as the FA Cup isn’t the priority competition for either side, both Emery and Howe will want to compete on all fronts and progress to the latter stages.
Emery has opted for seven changes from Wednesday’s narrow 1-0 Premier League win over Brighton & Hove Albion, as only Lamare Bogarde, Amadou Onana, Douglas Luiz and Morgan Rogers keep their places. Meanwhile, former Villan Jacob Ramsey starts in a holding midfield role for the visitors.

Without further ado, here’s how both teams shape up in full.
Villa XI: Bizot; Bogarde, Lindelof, Torres, Digne; Onana, Luiz; Bailey, Barkley, Rogers; Abraham.
Villa subs: Martinez (GK), Konsa, Mings, Buendia, Watkins, Garcia, Sancho, Maatsen, Kone.
