Paul Lambert hoping to pile pressure on Newcastle United

Aston Villa manager Paul Lambert believes that his side can take advantage of Newcastle United's poor form on Sunday.

Aston Villa manager Paul Lambert has claimed that his side will be positive from the first whistle as they look to pile further pressure on Newcastle United this Sunday.

Newcastle have lost their previous four home games and Lambert believes that Villa can take advantage of the negativity surrounding the club due to their recent form.

"The expectancy will be on Newcastle," Lambert told reporters. "They have been beaten at home pretty heavily in the last few games.

"We are going to go there on the front foot because if we do then their crowd might become edgy.

"Any club that has a big fan base, especially at home they expect to win. When things are going against you then you can hear the grumblings."

Villa are currently nine points behind Newcastle, who sit ninth in the Premier League.
