ℹ️ Team News: Aston Villa

The Aston Villa boss Steven Gerrard has no fitness worries whatsoever ahead of this game owing to a completely healthy group ready to go.

It looks as if The Villans could make use of the 4-3-1-2 formation for the game, handing starts to Emiliano Martinez, Matty Cash, Calum Chambers, Tyrone Mings, Lucas Digne, John McGinn, Douglas Luiz, Jacob Ramsey, Emiliano Buendia, Carney Chukwuemeka and Ollie Watkins.

🗞️ Team News: Burnley

Burnley manager Mike Jackson has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Ashley Westwood (Ankle Fracture), Ben Mee (Hairline crack in calfbone), Erik Pieters (Knee Injury), Jóhann Berg Gudmundsson (Calf Injury) and Jay Rodríguez (Unknown Injury) are not able to play.

We are inclined to think that The Clarets will likely begin the game with a 5-3-2 system, giving starts to Nick Pope, Connor Roberts, Kevin Long, Nathan Collins, James Tarkowski, Charlie Taylor, Josh Brownhill, Jack Cork, Dwight McNeil, Maxwel Cornet and Ashley Barnes.

🧠 Prediction

When taking all factors into account, Burnley are capable enough to break down this Aston Villa team, although it is unlikely to be enough to prevent defeat.

We are anticipating a very close game with a 2-1 win for Aston Villa at the end of this one. Definitely a tough call.
