Burnley vs aston villa

An extra rest period could be just what the doctor ordered for the home team ahead of the upcoming visit of a free-scoring Villa side. Villa recovered from a dismal defeat at Newcastle United in round one with an eye-catching demolition of Everton last weekend before putting five unanswered goals past Hibernian in midweek Europa Conference League action.

After rubber stamping European group stage football in Edinburgh, Villa can turn their undivided attention to arresting an underwhelming five-match winless run in Premier League away games D3, L2. Emery knows a thing or two about beating Burnley , having won all three previous managerial encounters against the Clarets despite conceding precisely once on each occasion. Playing in front of a hostile Turf Moor crowd is never a pleasant experience, but we expect Villa to ease past Burnley.
