Here is how Burnley and Aston Villa will line up for the Premier League clash at Turf Moor…
Burnley starting XI: Heaton; Trippier, Keane, Shackell, Ward; Boyd, Jones, Marney, Kightly; Ings, Barnes.
Burnley substitutes: Gilks, Sordell, Jutkiewicz, Arfield, Long, Mee, Wallace.
Aston Villa starting XI: Guzan; Hutton, Okore, Clark, Cissokho; Westwood, Sanchez, Cleverley; Cole, Weimann, Agbonlahor.
Aston Villa substitutes: Given, Bacuna, Richardson, N’Zogbia, Lowton, Robinson, Grealish.
Aston Villa go in search of a win against Burnley today, having gone eight games without a win in the Premier League.
The pressure is mounting on manager Paul Lambert, who has guided Villa to just six goals scored this term – the lowest tally in the entire division.
In a bid to boost his attack, Lambert surprisingly recalled Callum Robinson from his loan spell at Preston, and he replaces Darren Bent on the substitutes bench.
Villa go up against a buoyant Burnley side, who have now won two games in a row – a stark turnaround from going ten games without a win.
Danny Ings scored twice in last week’s 2-1 win against Stoke City, and he once again leads the Clarets attack alongside Ashley Barnes as Burnley seek a third straight win.
This is a big game at the bottom end of the table, and three points will go a long way to achieving survival for both clubs in what may already be deemed as a six-pointer.
