Burnley vs Aston Villa Match Preview: Premier League Showdown

Match at Turf Moor, Burnley on 2026-05-10 (Premier League, Regular Season - 36). Burnley come in 19th on 20 points, while Aston Villa sit 5th with 58 points.

Burnley Availability

Burnley face defensive and midfield disruption. J. Beyer (Hamstring Injury) is sidelined. J. Cullen (Knee Injury) is sidelined. C. Roberts (Muscle Injury) is sidelined. All three absences reduce Vincent Kompany’s options in building from the back and protecting a defence that has already conceded 71 league goals.

Aston Villa Availability

Aston Villa also have notable concerns. B. Kamara (Knee Injury) is sidelined, removing a key screening presence in midfield. Further up the pitch, there are two fitness worries: Alysson (Muscle Injury) is doubtful, and A. Onana (Calf Injury) is doubtful. Their status will be monitored close to kick-off, but Unai Emery may need alternative attacking and midfield solutions if they do not make the squad.

Impact Summary

Aston Villa’s leading attacking figures remain available: O. Watkins has 11 league goals and 2 assists, while M. Rogers has added 9 goals and 5 assists, a major combined threat for a side with 48 goals scored. With no Burnley players in the top scorers or assists lists, their attacking output is more collectively spread, but the loss of J. Cullen in midfield further weakens a team already struggling at both ends of the pitch.
