Aston Villa vs Burnley Pre-Match Thread

[Chipsticks]

This is a big game and I think we'll do the business.

For me, I'd like to see Targett at LB, Hourihane at CDM, and Jota on the wing for this - think they'll all be important in breaking a well-organised team down.

We have to win. HAVE to. Burnley are a good side, but that's the thing about the top division, there tend to be done good sides in this. Drawing with either Burnley or West Ham at home is fine so long as you beat the other one.

[Axl Rose]

3-0 Villa.

[Three Spires Villa]

Must win and we will win. UTV

[manic-road]

Tough game indeed, win 2-1.

[JUAN PABLO]

Conor and Targett to come in

keep Marvelous

leave DS to sort the rest

[darren woolley]

I can see us winning this 2-0.

Who would you drop to accommodate Conor? Unless we change the formation, there's no way McGinn or Jack are getting benched.

[Bad English]

3-1 to the kit-donators.

[PaulWinch again]

Need to get a win here.

A very tough game. I heard a Burnley player saying after the victory over Norwich last week that they were looking forward to this run of games as they thought they could pick up points. I expect  a draw.

My impression of Burnley is of a team who don't score many but don't concede many. After checking their stats this season I was right. Played 6 won 2 drawn 2 lost 2 scoring only eight goals but conceding only 7. They are a side who I usually fancy might get something from their home games but I don't usually fancy them to get much from their away games. Let's hope I am right.

[Dogtanian]

It’s a hard one, Burnley will be looking to get something but at the same time organised and wary of us.  Should be an interesting game.

Whether or not we feel this should be a fixture we should win, the results so far have made it into a very important game that we could well do with winning.  Villa Park sold out and the pressure will be on.

[KevinGage]

Any sort of win will do.

2-1 CYVB.

[Richard E]

1-0 to us. Trezeguet.
