Aston Villa XI vs Burnley – Predicted lineup and team news
Aston Villa XI vs Burnley – Predicted lineup and team news Aston Villa visit Turf Moor on Sunday, aiming to secure their place in the Champions League with a win over already relegated Burnley. Unai Emery’s side reached the Europa League final on Thursday night. They demolished Nottingham Forest 4–0 to book their spot in Istanbul.
Now they must turn their attention back to the Premier League. Villa are three points clear of Bournemouth with three matches remaining. A victory against relegated Burnley would officially confirm a top-five finish.
That said, the Villans are winless in their last five away league matches. Villa have won their last three Premier League games against Burnley. They have also lost just one of their nine matches when facing relegated sides.
However, that solitary loss came against Burnley back in 2015. Emery will demand a professional performance to avoid any late jitters in the race for fifth. Victory would allow the club to enjoy their final fixtures against Liverpool and Manchester City.
Aston Villa team news Unai Emery could hand out rest to John McGinn and Ollie Watkins following their European exertions. Jadon Sancho and Tammy Abraham are available to start in their absence. The visitors remain without long-term absentee Boubacar Kamara and midfielder Amadou Onana.
