We have three fixtures to enjoy in the English Premier League on the 27th of August, including the meeting between Burnley and Aston Villa.
The game will be played at Turf Moor and the hosts begin the weekend in 18th place on 0 points while Aston Villa are in 9th place on 3 points.
Burnley come into the match on the back of a 3-0 defeat at home against Manchester City on the opening day of the 2023/24 Premier League season.
It was always going to be a tough start against the champions for the newly promoted club and they fell behind after only 4 minutes.
Burnley conceded a second goal in the 36th minute and a third goal in the 70th minute of the game. Anass Zaroury was sent off in the closing stages.
That is the only Premier League match Burnley have played this season as their game against Luton Town last weekend was postponed.
Trends show Burnley have failed to win any of their last 5 Premier League fixtures.
Including the end of the 2021/22 season, Burnley have lost to Newcastle United, Aston Villa, and Manchester City at home plus Tottenham Hotspur away.
Burnley have lost 6 of their last 9 home Premier League matches, including each of the last 3 league games on home soil.
Aston Villa travel up to Turf Moor having brushed aside Hibernian in the first leg of their Europa League Conference tie.
The Scottish club had no answer to Aston Villa’s attacking play and they opened the scoring in the 17th minute.
Aston Villa were 3-0 up at half time and continued to score goals in the second half, netting in the 48th and 74th minute to secure their place in the group stages before the home leg.
The win at Hibernian means Aston Villa have won their last 2 competitive games following the convincing 4-0 home win over Everton in the Premier League last weekend.
Aston Villa were 2-0 up after 24 minutes and took advantage of a poor Everton team to score two further goals in the second half.

Team news: Burnley are without suspended midfielder Anass Zaroury. Michael Obafemi is a doubt due to a hamstring injury.
Aston Villa are without the injured trio of Philippe Coutinho, Tyrone Mings, Emiliano Buendia. They also have doubts over the fitness of Tim Iroegbunam, Leander Dendoncker, Jacob Ramsey, and Alex Moreno.
Aston Villa will be feeling confident following their wins in the Premier League and Europa Conference League while Burnley have not played since the 11th of August.
Burnley will want to give their fans something to cheer about and they could score but we expect Aston Villa to come out on top.
