Burnley to get vital point at Villa Park

Aston Villa and Burnley meet for the second time in quick succession in the Premier League on Thursday night, and the Clarets desperately need a different outcome to the 3-1 defeat from a fortnight ago to increase their chances of avoiding relegation this weekend. Read our preview here:

Empty Chambers

A lot of the focus surrounding the hosts recently has been on the Liverpool connection because of Steven Gerrard's possible role in the direction of the title, but the legend will be more immediately on avoiding more injuries. Ezri Konsa has been ruled out for four months, which because of the truncated 2022/2023 season will mean the centre back misses out on more games than would ordinarily be the case. Calum Chambers looks set to replace him, and he'll have to ensure his passes out from defence are inch-perfect. Ollie Watkins, who can't train at present, will probably still feature and is always a threat.


No Josh-ing around

Mike Jackson's side know that whilst a draw will be sufficient to put them above Leeds United by virtue of goal difference, they cannot go into their game in the West Midlands with that mentality. There's unlikely to be any big shift in formation or style, but there might be a lot of attacking intensity from the off. Josh Brownhill has been one of the Clarets' better performers this term, and fans will be hoping for a bit of magic from him in midfield.

Betting tip

betway have odds of 3.50 for the point that Burnley need to potentially bring both Everton and Leeds into big trouble once more, depending on how the Toffees fare on Thursday.
