Mike Jackson’s pre-match comments

“The result [in Europe] on Thursday night will bring a bit of confidence back into the team.

“They’re a very good team, very well coached. They look like they've improved year on year and I like watching them play as well. I watch a lot of games and I think they've got a good style of play, very clear what they do.

“So all credit to them.”

What are the predicted teams?

Burnley: Dubravka, Walker, Humphreys, Ekdal, Esteve, Hartman, Ward-Prowse, Hannibal, Tchaouna, Anthony, Flemming

Villa: Martinez, Cash, Lindelof, Mings, Maatsen, Bogarde, Tielemans, Sancho, Barkley, Rogers, Abraham

Who is the referee?

Anthony Taylor. One of England’s top refs, Taylor has overseen 43 games so far this season, dishing out 172 yellow cards - at an average of four per game - but just four reds. This will be the first Burnley game he’s taken charge of this season. In fact, you have to rewind two years to May 2024 for his last involvement in a Clarets game, which was a 4-1 home defeat to Newcastle United. Jarred Gillett is on VAR duty.

What are the latest odds?

Burnley: 18/5

Draw: 3/1
