Newcastle boss Eddie Howe knows they face a huge challenge against Aston Villa.
Sunday's game will pitch Howe into battle with Villa counterpart Steven Gerrard, a young manager for whom he has great respect.
He said: "He's got all the credentials to go on and manage at the very, very highest level and achieve whatever he wants to in the game.
"He's done a great job already at Rangers, he's come into Aston Villa and made a big impact in a short period of time.
"He's someone I haven't come up against yet in terms of playing against one of his teams, but from afar I've watched his work and been very impressed."
