An important duel in the bottom section of the league table, with both teams experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 15th and the visitors in 16th place.
It's no vacation for neither Burnley nor Aston Villa as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
