Its been a great start to the Premiership for Aston Villa. They grabbed a 1-1 draw in their opening game at Arsenal and came from behind to beat Reading 2-1 at home last Wednesday. Now they have another home game against Newcastle, who played a UEFA cup qualifying tie on  Thursday and have doubts over the fitness of Shola Ameobi up front. In their opening game they beat Wigan 2-1 at home.

Well, its been a fairytale start for Martin O'Neil, and what better way to follow a good home win than another match at Villa Park? There seems to be a re found confidence amongst the players and fans - there were 37,000 fans there last Wednesday, and it seems O'Neil has developed the confidence of the side. They are playing well - Gavin Mccann is very effective in midfield breaking up attacks and they have plenty of good youngsters in Steven Davis and Gareth Barry in midfield, and Luke Moore up front. Newcastle should not be underestimated either, they have the quality of Duff in midfield, but i'm not sure about how effective they will be going forward.

Villa have a back four which has been together a few years now, and are playing quite solidly. Newcastle have Titus Bramble - enough said. The Toon do have the quality to find the net, however the momentum is now fully with Aston Villa and I can see them edging out Newcastle in tight contest. Paddy offer odds of 7/5 for a home win, plus a free £10 bet, and this seems very appealing. Take your free bet and go for the home win at some attractive odds.
