Burnley vs Aston Villa Preview: Premier League Clash on May 10, 2026

Match at Turf Moor, Burnley, on 10 May 2026 in the Premier League (Regular Season - 36), with Burnley hosting Aston Villa. Burnley sit 19th on 20 points, deep in the relegation places, while Aston Villa arrive 5th with 58 points and chasing Champions League qualification.

Injuries and Absences

Burnley face multiple defensive absences. J. Beyer (Hamstring Injury) is sidelined. J. Cullen (Knee Injury) is sidelined. C. Roberts (Muscle Injury) is sidelined. All three are confirmed out, leaving the hosts light on experience at the back and in central midfield for a must-win home game.

Aston Villa also have concerns. B. Kamara (Knee Injury) is sidelined, removing an important screening option in midfield. Two more names are not fully cleared: Alysson (Muscle Injury) is doubtful. A. Onana (Calf Injury) is doubtful. Their status will likely be decided closer to kick-off, but any absence would further stretch Villa’s midfield rotation.

Attacking Threats

From an attacking-output perspective, neither side loses a listed top scorer or leading assist provider. Aston Villa’s main threats remain available, with O. Watkins (11 league goals, 2 assists) and M. Rogers (9 goals, 5 assists) both fit and central to Unai Emery’s plans. With Burnley already struggling in both boxes, their defensive injuries could prove more damaging than Villa’s midfield issues.
