Scott Parker’s side suffered their first real heavy defeat of the season last Saturday when they were harshly beaten 5-1 away to Manchester City.
The result saw the Clarets slip into the relegation zone for the first time since the opening day 3-0 defeat to Tottenham.

Burnley now head to the West Midlands to take on a Villa side that have suffered a slow start to the season, sitting just two places and two points above Parker’s men in the table.
They did claim their first league win of the season last week though, coming from behind to beat Fulham 3-1 on home turf.
Here’s how we expect the Clarets to line up at Villa Park:
