Burnley vs Aston Villa Match Preview: Premier League Showdown

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, while Aston Villa are 5th with 58 points.

Burnley Availability

Burnley face defensive and midfield absences. J. Beyer (Hamstring Injury) is sidelined. J. Cullen (Knee Injury) is sidelined. C. Roberts (Muscle Injury) is sidelined. All three are confirmed missing, reducing Vincent Kompany’s options in the back line and central areas for a side that has already conceded 71 league goals.

Aston Villa Availability

Aston Villa have one confirmed absentee and two fitness concerns. B. Kamara (Knee Injury) is sidelined, removing a key screening presence in midfield. Alysson (Muscle Injury) is doubtful. A. Onana (Calf Injury) is doubtful. Their status will be monitored closer to kick-off, but any absence would further thin Unai Emery’s rotation options.

Impact Summary

Burnley’s issues are concentrated in defensive structure rather than lost goals, which is significant for a team with only 35 goals scored. Aston Villa, by contrast, retain their main attacking weapons: top scorer O. Watkins (11 goals, 2 assists) and creator M. Rogers (9 goals, 5 assists) are both available, preserving the bulk of Villa’s attacking output despite Kamara’s absence in midfield.
