Aston Villa v Newcastle: Lineups and open match thread

Some important questions to ponder going into the match against Newcastle:

• How long until a defender gets hurt and Eric Lichaj comes off the bench?
• Will we see good Blazing Roaches, or is that just a two-game sort of streak?
• Is it possible to watch an entire match with your eyes closed?
• How many gods are available to which we can direct prayers?
