Welcome back to Teamsheet… Mail Sport’s original football memory game with a twist that gives you the chance to test your football knowledge against your mates.

Newcastle are set to renew hostilities with Aston Villa on Boxing Day, so today we’re bringing you back to a remarkable day for the Magpies against the same opponents in August 2010.

Back then, Chris Hughton’s side thumped Villa 6-0, with one hometown hero netting a hat-trick, but can you remember their starting XI?

It’s just for fun, so see how you fare and share your Teamsheet score… full instructions on how to play are at the bottom of the article and in the game itself.

Best of luck!

HOW TO PLAY

The aim of the game is to score as few points as possible!

If you guess a player at the first attempt you score one point – so the lowest score for guessing every player at the first attempt is 11.

Guess a correct letter in the right position, and it’ll turn green. Guess a correct letter but in the wrong position, and it’ll turn yellow.

You have six guesses for each player – and if you fail, we’ll reveal their identity for 11 points! You can also ask for a free letter, but it costs you a point.

So play on to see if you’ll score the best possible total of 11 – or fail on every player and score 121.
