Burnley vs Aston Villa – Predicted lineup and team news Burnley host Aston Villa on Sunday afternoon, looking to restore pride following their relegation. The Clarets have little at stake after their return to the Championship was confirmed. Relegation triggered an emotional week following the departure of manager Scott Parker.
Interim head coach Mike Jackson now leads the side for the remaining fixtures. He has urged his players to finish the season in a positive way. Burnley have won just one of their last 26 Premier League matches.
Their overall form in 2026 is the worst in the division. That said, Jackson previously drew with Villa at the end of the 2021-22 season. He is desperate for his squad to provide the home crowd with something to react to.
The Clarets have lost three straight games to Villa and must improve to halt that trend. Burnley team news Mike Jackson expects another busy afternoon for Martin Dúbravka against an elite attack. The goalkeeper has made 127 saves this season, over twenty more than any other player.
