Hello and welcome to the coverage of today’s matches, as Aston Villa seems to calm the mood of Burnley in Turf Moore. Strangely, this is the first meeting between the two countries this season, after the first clash in Villa Park in December was postponed due to a Covid outbreak at the Villa camp.
Towards the match itself, Gerard will confirm a little later whether Jacob Ramsey has passed a late fitness test. The 20-year-old limped from training at the beginning of the week with a problem in the groin. Leon Bailey (ankle) and Courtney House (hammer) are still missing, while Morgan Sanson returns after a two-game break.
For the hosts, caretaker manager Mike Jackson has worked wonders since replacing Sean Deitch, winning three and tying one of his four games to date. The Clarets – who will be calling late for Maxwell Cornet, Eric Peters and Jay Rodriguez – are now two points and two places above the relegation zone after last week’s victory over Watford.

Speaking before the start, Villa center-back Callum Chambers said: “When teams are like this, it’s a war, it’s a battle and you have to stand up for it before you play your football. You have to match what they wear before you can concentrate on your own things. It’s important that we go there and be ready for battle. “
