Burnley vs Aston Villa: Expect a productive game

Burnley will face Aston Villa at their home ground. The encounter is round 36 of the English Championship. Can Burnley pick up their fourth successive home win?

After a 1:1 away draw with West Ham, Burnley made a strong run of form. They beat Southampton at 2:0 at home and then took a comfortable 1:0 lead over Wolverhampton. Burnley showed character against Watford the previous weekend and snatched a 2:1 win. Thanks to these results, the club is now out of the relegation zone. With 34 points, Burnley is 16th in the Premiership table.

Aston Villa finally broke their unbeaten streak in the Premier League last week. The Birmingham side took on Norwich City at home with a solid performance. The Lions scored two unanswered goals. After 33 games, Aston Villa has 40 points. Steven Gerrard's side is currently 13th in the standings.

It is difficult to name a favorite for the upcoming game. Burnley has been in the relegation zone for a long time, while Aston Villa has claimed a position in the top ten of the EPL table. Now they are separated by just six points, showing the progress of the home side and the slump of the Birmingham side. The Lions have managed to get back on the winning track, which may add to the confidence of Gerrard's players. Winning three points at the Turf Moor stadium will not be easy.
