Burnley v Aston Villa pre-match thread - Wednesday, January 27th, 6pm

I would start AEG tomorrow. He has like 8 scores to settle with Burnley given how many chances he squandered last time. He's not missing those again if he gets a chance.

Agree.
Did you know every time villa score first they have won the game this season
Get ahead tomorrow and no looking back
Punish them!

Great stat that

Because we are clearly much better at counter attacking than breaking down 'park the bus' sides.

First goal is always key. When you consider Burnley have only scored 10 goals all season, it would be we score first, we won't lose.

We need to be at them and swarming them with quick ball. They were an abomination at Villa Park and how they didn't get on the end of a 4 or 5 goal hammering is a mystery.

I've just heard that Konsa has tested positive for Covid?

I've just heard that Konsa has tested positive for Covid?

There was a Tweet that said "Ezri Konsa has just tested positive......for being better than Van Dijk". Is that what you've heard?

Any chance the ref and var could actually do their job tonight and protect the Villa players from the brutal tactics of burnley (particularly mee)? Thought not! UTV!

No surprise, he's been showing all symptoms.

[Villa Lew]

About time a team, other than Man City, scored more than one goal against them, I reckon we can do it, going 2 nil Villa, Jack and another sensational goal from the mighty Bert.

Hopefully not on Konsa but this is ideal opponent for Hause, just heading crosses away all night.

Not sure if he's injured himself though still.

[ADVILLAFAN]

Hause is out still

Yep apologies for the fake news there. My work colleague who loves to be melodramatic told me that Konsa tested positive for Covid. He obviously only read half the tweet. Not the first time he's made me look a prat on here.

will post the official match thread soon but SJM is back in for Marv. Shame as he played well the other night but the right decision.
