Aston Villa vs Burnley Match Preview

Aston Villa is set to host Burnley at the Villa Park in Gameweek 20 of the English Premier League 2023/24 season. Both teams were involved in defeats in the previous game week losing out to the likes of Manchester United and Liverpool respectively.

Unai Emery’s Aston Villa have been in brilliant form this season but had to face a crushing defeat against Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United at Old Trafford in gameweek 19. The Birmingham side led the game 2-0 in the first half but a  brace from Argentine youngster Alejandro Garnacho leveled it up for the Red Devils while Rasmus Hojlund’s first Premier League goal completed the comeback for United.

On the other hand, relegation side Burnley faced a 2-0 defeat to Liverpool at home, thanks to goals from Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota who scored just a few minutes after his long-awaited return to the pitch. Burnley are currently 19th in the league with just 11 points, four behind 18th-placed Luton Town.
