BIRMINGHAM, England (Reuters) -Newcastle United dominated possession but could not convert their chances in a scoreless Premier League draw at 10-man Aston Villa on Saturday, with Eddie Howe's visitors missing striker Alexander Isak, who wants to leave the club.
With Newcastle set to play Liverpool, who recently had a big-money bid for the want-away Sweden international rejected, in their next league game at St James's Park on August 25, the stakes will be even higher.
