Head-to-head record
Previous meetings: 175
Aston Villa wins: 60
Draws: 39
Newcastle wins: 76
A regular fixture in the top flight ever since the late 1800s, Aston Villa and Newcastle United met for the 175th time across all competitions when they collide at Villa Park in the Premier League in April 2025.
That battle was not much of a contest in truth, though, as Unai Emery's Lions roared to a 4-1 success in front of the home faithful, the perfect response to their gut-wrenching Champions League exit a few days before.
The Magpies hold the overall bragging rights by a fair distance, though, as they have come out on top in 76 of their previous 175 clashes with Villa, who have won 60 scraps of their own, and the two outfits have battled to a draw on 39 occasions.
Newcastle have streaked further clear in the head-to-head column in recent years, having largely asserted their dominance over Aston Villa with five wins from their last seven encounters, prevailing in three in a row before April 2025.
The Magpies also scored at least three goals in each of those Premier League victories; 5-1 at home in August 2023, 3-1 at Villa Park in January 2024 and 3-0 at St James' Park on Boxing Day 2024.
However, Villa's first win in that seven-match sequence was an equally emphatic one - 3-0 on their own patch in April 2023 - and there have been a whopping 25 goals scored across the last six Premier League meetings between the two clubs.
That 3-0 success for the Lions is just one of five that they have managed in their last 23 clashes with Newcastle across all competitions, though, and both sides have one over each other in FA Cup finals.
Indeed, Aston Villa conquered Newcastle 2-0 in the 1905 showpiece thanks to two Harry Hampton goals, but the Magpies got their revenge 19 years later, winning by the same scoreline in the final of the 1923-24 edition at Wembley.
Hampton netted 11 times in meetings between Aston Villa and Newcastle, only below two other Lions strikers in Joe Bache (13) and Billy Walker (12) for the most documented all-time goals in this particular fixture.
