Aston Villa have finally strung together two wins in a row, with Ollie Watkins also opening his account for the season. After a difficult spell of results and performances, they now have a real chance to extend their run to three consecutive victories.
Burnley, on the other hand, has managed just one win this season. To their credit, they’ve faced a tough start, coming up against Manchester United, Liverpool, and Manchester City in their opening six matches. Still, their defensive record is concerning, with 13 goals conceded, the second-highest in the league.
What we say
Aston Villa to Win
Although Villa will be without Tyrone Mings, who picked up an injury in the previous round, Unai Emery’s side should have enough individual quality to overcome this setback. With Villa winning three of the last five head-to-head meetings and Burnley’s defensive frailties on display, a home win looks the most likely outcome.
