Aston Villa host Newcastle United at Villa Park in what promises to be an intriguing battle to kickstart the Premier League season, and Spreadex have a great offer for new customers to claim for the opening weekend of top flight football.

After placing a £10 qualifying bet, the bookie will hand out £60 in free bets across multiple betting formats, which we have broken down below.

Villa fans will be hoping to see Ollie Watkins in the starting lineup, with the England international having been linked with a move to The Magpies this summer, while their own star striker – Alexander Isak – has tried to force his way out.
