Prediction: 1-0

Burnley

Thanks to El-Ghazi’s late goal from the penalty spot, Aston Villa defeated Wolverhampton at Molineux Stadium at the weekend. The Villans once again proved their worth in the 2020/21 season, and it is no wonder bookies see them as favourites to win Thursday’s clash against Burnley. Matthew Cash misses the match through suspension, while Ross Barkley is unlikely to recover in time to face the Clarets.

Burnley, on the other hand, did well to beat ten-man Arsenal thanks to Aubameyang’s own goal. Sean Dyche’s troops managed to escape the relegation zone, but they will have a big fish to fry in the midweek clash against Aston Villa. The likes of Cork, Gudmundsson, and Stephens remain in the recovery room, while Bardsley should recover in time to face the Villans. Anyhow, home win should be considered as Aston Villa are more of a team Burnley.
