Aston Villa vs Burnley team news
Aston Villa
Aston Villa fans will still be scratching their heads at just how their side didn't take home all three points at Old Trafford on Boxing Day. John McGinn fired the visitors in front in the twenty-first minute and a rare goal from Leander Dendoncker put Villa 2-0 up at the interval. However, Man Utd scored three times without a reply in the second half to win the match 3-2, much to the disappointment of the away fans.
Lucas Digne had to be taken off during that defeat and now looks set to join Emiliano Buendia, Tyrone Mings, Robin Olsen, Youri Tielemans and Pau Torres on the sidelines. Boubacar Kamara misses the game through suspension but Matty Caszh returns to the side.
Predicted Lineup: Martínez (GK), Moreno, Lenglet, Carlos, Cash, Dendoncker, McGinn, Bailey, Luiz, Ramsey & Watkins
Burnley
Burnley went down 2-0 in their own backyard against Liverpool last time out. The visitors scored a goal in each half to secure all three points in what was a fairly closely fought game.
Luca Koleosho and Jack Cork are both expected to miss the trip to Villa Park this weekend due to injury.
Predicted Lineup: Trafford (GK), Taylor, O'Shea, Beyer, Vitinho, Brownhill, Berge, Trésor, Foster, Amdouni & Odobert

Player to Watch: Leon Bailey
Aston Villa's Jamaican winger might not have been an automatic starter this season but whenever he has featured, the former Bayer Leverkusen man has produced.
Despite only starting seven league games this season, Bailey has provided five goals and five assists for Unai Emery's side and we're backing the winger to put in another good performance against a leaky Burnley defence on Saturday, helping to guide Aston Villa back to winning ways.
