Prediction: Aston Villa to win 3-0
Best Odds: 10/1
Burnley and Aston Villa will lock horns with each other in the Premier League this weekend. The match between the Clarets and the Villans will be held at Turf Moor and is scheduled to kick off at 2pm UK time on Sunday.
Burnley
Burnley have become a yo-yo club. The Clarets were playing in the Championship last season and won promotion to the Premier League after finishing second.
The Clarets have been relegated from the Premier League and will play in the Championship again next season. Scott Parker has parted company with Burnley, who are now on the hunt for a permanent manager to replace him.
Burnley will head into the Premier League game against Aston Villa at Turf Moor this weekend on the back of a 3-1 defeat to Leeds United away from home at Elland Road in the league. It came after a 1-0 defeat to Manchester City at Turf Moor in the Premier League, which followed a 4-1 defeat at the hands of Nottingham Forest away from home at the City Ground in the league.
Team News:
Burnley are likely to line up in a 5-4-1 formation against Aston Villa. Martin Dubravka will be in goal for the Clarets. Kyle Walker, Hjalmar Ekdal, Maxime Esteve, Bashir Humphreys and Quilindschy Hartman will be the five defenders. Loum Tchaouna, Josh Laurent, James Ward-Prowse and Jaidon Anthony will be the four midfielders. Zian Flemming will lead the line for Burnley.
Aston Villa
Aston Villa are one of the biggest clubs in England and have established themselves among the elite in the Premier League under manager Unai Emery. Villa played in the UEFA Champions League last season and are aiming to end up in the Premier League top five in the 2025-26 campaign.
Villa were third in the Premier League table in December 2025 and were seemingly in the race for the Premier League title. However, the Villans are now in the race for Champions League places and are likely to get a spot. Emery’s side are currently fifth with 58 points from 35 matches, six points above sixth-placed Bournemouth.
Villa will take on Nottingham Forest at Villa Park in the second leg of their UEFA Europa League semi-final tie on Thursday evening before facing Burnley away from home at Turf Moor in the league. Emery’s side suffered a 2-1 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur at Villa Park in the Premier League last weekend, which came after a 1-0 defeat to Forest away from home at the City Ground in the first leg of their UEFA Europa League semi-final tie.
Team News:
Aston Villa are likely to line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation against Burnley. Emiliano Martinez will be in goal for the Villans, with Matty Cash, Ezri Konsa, Pau Torres and Lucas Digne in front of him in defence. Amadou Onana and Youri Tielemans will be the two holding midfielders. John McGinn, Morgan Rogers and Emiliano Buendia will be the three attacking midfielders. Ollie Watkins will lead the line for Villa.
Key Factors to Consider
- Burnley have won just 4 of their 35 Premier League games this season.
- Burnley have lost their last 5 Premier League games.
- Aston Villa have lost their last 2 Premier League matches.
- Aston Villa have scored 48 goals and conceded 44 goals in 35 Premier League games.
- Aston Villa have won 17 of their 35 Premier League games this campaign.
Conclusion
Burnley have already been relegated to the Championship, and their season is over. Aston Villa are pretty much guaranteed a place in the UEFA Champions League next season. Unai Emery’s side are better and should pick up all three points from this particular Premier League game with ease.
