Burnley vs Aston Villa Match Preview: Premier League Clash

Match at Turf Moor, Burnley, on 10 May 2026 in the Premier League (Regular Season - 36). Burnley enter the round 19th with 20 points and a goal difference of -36, while Aston Villa sit 5th on 58 points with a goal difference of 4.

Injuries

Burnley face defensive disruption. J. Beyer (Hamstring Injury) is sidelined. J. Cullen (Knee Injury) is sidelined. C. Roberts (Muscle Injury) is sidelined. All three are confirmed absentees, reducing options at the back and in midfield for a side already conceding 71 goals in 35 matches.

Aston Villa also have issues in the middle of the pitch. B. Kamara (Knee Injury) is sidelined, removing an important screening presence ahead of the back line. In attack, there are two fitness concerns: Alysson (Muscle Injury) is doubtful, and A. Onana (Calf Injury) is doubtful. Their status will be monitored closer to kick-off.

Attacking Output

From an attacking-output perspective, neither side loses its key creators. For Aston Villa, leading scorer O. Watkins (11 goals, 2 assists) and influential midfielder M. Rogers (9 goals, 5 assists) are both available, preserving the core of a front line that has delivered 48 league goals so far. Burnley’s absences are more structural than attacking but further strain a squad already struggling at both ends of the pitch.
