Burnley vs Aston Villa: Premier League Match Preview

Match at Turf Moor, Burnley, on 10 May 2026 in the Premier League regular season (round 36), with Burnley hosting Aston Villa. Burnley sit 19th on 20 points, deep in the relegation zone, while Aston Villa arrive 5th on 58 points and pushing for the Champions League places.

Injuries and Absences

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 remove experience from a squad already struggling, with Burnley having scored 35 and conceded 71 across 35 matches.

Aston Villa also have concerns. B. Kamara (Knee Injury) is sidelined, depriving them of a key midfield screen. Alysson (Muscle Injury) is doubtful. A. Onana (Calf Injury) is doubtful. The latter two offer depth and rotation options in attack and midfield, but their status will be assessed closer to kick-off.

Attacking Output

From an attacking-output perspective, Burnley’s issues are more structural than tied to a single star, as no top league scorers or assist leaders are listed from their ranks. Aston Villa, however, retain their primary threats: O. Watkins (11 league goals, 2 assists) and M. Rogers (9 goals, 5 assists) are both available, preserving the core of a front line that has delivered 48 goals so far.
