Tyrone Mings anticipates a difficult start to the Premier League season for Aston Villa against Newcastle United. Despite finishing on equal points with Newcastle last season, Villa missed a Champions League spot due to goal difference. Mings recognizes Newcastle's strong performance under Eddie Howe, noting their intensity and fitness. While Villa aims for European football, Mings is aware of the competitive nature of the Premier League, emphasizing the difficulty every season brings. Newcastle's pre-season was affected by transfer speculation involving top scorer Alexander Isak, indicating ongoing challenges for the team.
"Knowing Eddie Howe as I know him, they'll be very intense, they'll be fit - his pre-seasons are quite difficult. They're a fantastic team. They have great players and every game against them is very difficult. We have to be at our sharpest and at our best to get a result."
"I'm expecting a very difficult afternoon but one that we can look forward to as well. What a great way to start the season at home in front of our fans against Newcastle. I'm sure it will be a great day."
"[Our target is] Definitely European football again. It's the toughest league in the world and the competition is always improving. Every time I look at the Premier League, the table and the teams that are in it and the squads that they have, it's so hard."
