Aston Villa are travelling to Burnley for the crucial game in the Premier League to decide their future continental campaign.
Aston Villa can only rest one day before refocusing themselves again on their next game in the domestic competition. After slumping to two consecutive defeats in the Premier League while taking on Fulham and Spurs, their next game versus Burnley is important to guarantee their place in the Champions League next season.
This match comes at the right moment after their massive bounce back in the Europa League on Thursday. A three-point haul in Turf Moor could secure their UCL berth. Considering their tough opposition in the last two games as they take on Liverpool and Manchester City, the victory on Sunday is more than necessary.
Unai Emery himself underlines the importance of that game, as reported by Birmingham Mail.
“In Burnley on Sunday is a huge opportunity. A huge opportunity to try to get the fifth position definitely, or, of course, waiting for the next two matches against Liverpool and Manchester City. And this opportunity is on Sunday. And of course, it’s the priority now, and it’s very, very important.”
The game on Sunday is their huge opportunity to win for Villa, as The Clarets have been officially relegated this season. They have been without a permanent manager since the departure of Scott Parker. Martin Dubravka and Co have been winless in the past 10 games too. Thus, a failure to win would be equal to loss for John McGinn and Co. So, they can not let this chance slip out of their hands.
Moreover, they have great momentum after trashing Nottingham Forest on Thursday. No wonder Emery would be deploying their best team to achieve their target. Apart from Onana’s and Kamara’s injuries, the Lions’ squad is practically in top condition.
Furthermore, Emery has found the solution for their defensive midfielder crisis. Victor Lindelof is expected to be fielded again in that position instead of clinging to Lamare Bogarde, just like in their last outing.
Burnley v Aston Villa kicks off in Turf Moor at 2 pm UK time on Sunday, May 10. It is one of the three games which are staged at the same time. The other two are also involving their fellow sides playing in Europe in the midweek. They are Crystal Palace, which advanced to the UEFA Conference League final this year, playing host to Everton, and Nottingham Forest v Newcastle. Meanwhile, the clash between West Ham and Arsenal will be held at 4.30 pm UK time.
The encounter between Burnley and Aston Villa will be available on Sky Sports Premier League, Sky Go Extra, and Sky Go UK on TV as well as live streaming. The fans can also enjoy this game on NOW TV.
