The Premier League match between Burnley and Aston Villa will take place at Turf Moor on Sunday at 6:30 pm IST.
After thoroughly analyzing their initial Premier League loss to Manchester City, newly promoted Burnley is set to resume action after a short break. They will host Aston Villa at Turf Moor on Sunday. Aston Villa secured a comfortable 4-0 victory against Everton in gameweek two. Unfortunately, Burnley’s scheduled match against Luton Town was postponed and will be played later.
Amid ongoing construction at Luton’s Kenilworth Road to elevate it to Premier League standards, Burnley enjoyed a rare August weekend off. They will face Luton later, fellow Championship graduates. While 18 other Premier League teams competed last weekend, Burnley’s Vincent Kompany reflected on their tough reintroduction, a loss to Manchester City. Erling Haaland scored twice, Rodri and Anass Zaroury’s red card compounded the defeat. Drawing firm conclusions from this loss is premature, considering 37 games remain. Despite their 18th spot, Burnley added new players since then. They also have an EFL Cup match with Nottingham Forest between Sunday’s game and an upcoming trip to Tottenham Hotspur, where they’ll be underdogs in this claret clash.
Aston Villa swiftly rebounded from a 4-goal opening loss to secure an impressive 4-0 victory against Everton. John McGinn, Douglas Luiz, Leon Bailey, and Jhon Duran fueled the resounding win. Their confident form continued as they almost assuredly booked a spot in the Europa Conference League group stage, hammering Hibernian 5-0 in the playoff’s first leg. Ollie Watkins’s 48-minute hat-trick highlighted the victory. As they return to domestic action, Villa aims to overcome a concerning away record, failing to win their last five Premier League away matches, conceding regularly. Their recent encounters with Burnley have yielded mixed outcomes, with two wins from eight meetings, but only one loss at Turf Moor in the Premier League era.
Burnley probable starting lineup: Trafford, Roberts, O’Shea, Al-Dakhil, Beyer, Vitinho, Redmond, Berge, Cullen, Larsen, Amdouni
Aston Villa probable starting lineup: Olsen, Cash, Konsa, Torres, Digne, Bailey, Luiz, Kamara, McGinn, Diaby, Watkins
