Burnley vs Aston Villa – Match preview and team news
Burnley vs Aston Villa – Match preview and team news Aston Villa travel to Turf Moor on Sunday looking to secure Champions League football for next season with a win over Championship-bound Burnley. Unai Emery’s side demolished Nottingham Forest on Thursday to reach the Europa League final. They must now address a stuttering run of Premier League form.
Villa have picked up just seven points from their last eight matches. They remain just three points clear of a rampant Bournemouth side, who beat Fulham on Saturday. Relegated Burnley enter this fixture in transition following the departure of Scott Parker.
Interim boss Mike Jackson aims to restore pride in their final home matches. The Clarets have won just one of their last 26 Premier League matches. They are currently winless in 13 home games at Turf Moor.
That said, Villa have struggled away from home recently. They are winless in their last five matches on the road. Success today would mark Villa’s fourth consecutive victory over Burnley.
Victory would also officially guarantee a top-five finish for the West Midlands club. Emery will demand focus to avoid a post-European hangover in Lancashire.
