The Toon teenagers fell behind inside five minutes at the Bodymoor Heath training ground following Markie Meade's strike before levelling before half-time courtesy of Thomas Old's effort.
United's youngsters, however, conceded six times in the final half-hour of the Group B clash, with Jack McGrath regaining Villa's lead before two goals in the space of two minutes by Teddie Bloomfield and Meade extended the hosts' advantage.
Newcastle suffered further blows in the closing stages following late strikes from McGrath and Meade, the latter completing his hat-trick, before Olly Lloyd's stoppage-time strike rounded off a difficult afternoon for the young Magpies.
Newcastle host Liverpool in their final Under-18 Premier League Cup group B fixture on Saturday, 22nd November (kick-off 11am GMT), requiring a positive result against their Reds counterparts in their hopes of progressing into the quarter-finals.
Newcastle United Under-18s: Roman Dowell, Guy Bloomer, Oliver Goodbrand (Jake Durrant 59), Thomas Old, Isaac Moran (c), Mason Miley (Jude Cogdon 59), Sammy Pinnington (Jack Patterson 75), Sam Alabi, Alfie Hutchison, Alex O'Donovan (Kayden Lucas 75), Alfie Seldon.
