Soccer Monday: Miller picks Premier League action — Aston Villa vs Newcastle United

With a light schedule Monday, before the UEFA Champions League and Europa League take center stage once again in midweek, there are not too many matches to choose.

But there is a very intriguing one in the Premier League between Aston Villa and Newcastle United.

Both teams sit in the bottom half of the table, but a Newcastle win would see it rocket up to eighth.

Aston Villa has the better goal differential (-3 to -7), and was playing well before it had a stretch before the break against Manchester City, Liverpool, and Wolverhampton.

Look for the Villa, powered by John McGinn, to find a way to win a high scoring contest.
