Newcastle United-Aston Villa Preview (The Associated Press)

Since Rafa Benitez has arrived in the North East, he's instilled the belief that Newcastle United can avoid the drop in this most important of seasons considering the financial stakes. The one thing he's yet to do is have his players carry that belief on the road, and Saturday's encounter at already-relegated Aston Villa is as must win as they come for the Magpies. Newcastle (8-9-19) have a tenuous hold just above the drop in 17th.
