Aston Villa, under Unai Emery, has seen a remarkable rise, currently holding 3rd place in the Europa Conference League. Despite recent struggles against Sheffield United and Manchester United, Villa is expected to respond well. They secured the 1/8 Finals and are the primary candidate to win the title, with odds around 4.0.

Burnley, who won the Championship last year, struggled in the transfer window, spending money on experienced players and focusing on young talents. With 19th place and 11 points, they face challenges in avoiding relegation, five points away from the safe zone.

Boubacar Kamara, a starting midfielder, received a red card against Brentford and a three-game ban, missing the Burnley game. Matty Cash, a right full-back, served a one-game suspension and should return to the starting lineup. Lucas Digne, a left full-back, suffered a thigh injury against Manchester United and is expected to miss the upcoming game. Emiliano Buenadia, Tyrone Mings, Robin Olsen, Youri Tielemans, and Bertrand Traore are also sidelined.

The team has improved their injury situation, with starting striker Lyle Foster returning to play in the last three games, Josh Cullen, Johann Berg Gudmundsson, and Aaron Ramsey recovering from previous injuries. Jack Cork and Luca Koleosho will remain sidelined due to injuries. Coach Vincent Kompany expressed disappointment with the 2:0 loss to Liverpool, stating they faced a “top side” but failed to score due to poor decision-making.

Predicted lineups:

Aston Villa

Goalkeeper: Emiliano Martinez
Defenders: Matty Cash, Ezri Konsa, Pau Torres, Alex Moreno
