Aston Villa v Burnley Pre-Match Thread - Thursday, 19th at 8pm

[Toronto Villa]

A bit of nothing game for us. We're safe. Last really great chance of a win as the game vs Man City could be a little ugly. But a little torn. Ok, I'm not as I want Villa to win always. But, hypothetically speaking...a loss gives Burnley hope of staying up and Everton or Leeds going down. And that would be funny. A win, most desirable, and unfavourable results for Everton and Leeds keeps everything very tasty for the last day.

We battered them a week or so back. I expect them to be better because they need to be. But still think we will find a way to end our home campaign with a win.

I'll go 2-1 - Buendia and Ings

[Risso]

Anothing spanking for Burnley. 3-0 this time.

[Nev]

It would be nice to finish on a high. It's a shame it's a night match because the last home game was traditionally a bit of a day out but never mind.

They'll battle, we'll struggle here and there and then suddenly look good for odd spells.

1-1.

They are that poor - surely they can't manage a shot on goal.  7-0 Villa.

[manic-road]

2-0 Ings x2

[Villa Lew]

Just heard the match is on Sky, which is good news.

[Richard E]

They are that poor - surely they can't manage a shot on goal.  7-0 Villa.

By law you have to say it as 7(Seven)-0 Villa

[Legion]

0-2.

[Lastfootstamper]

They'll view this as their big chance to stay up, as a win would probably suffice, and they'll be suitably up for the challenge. That said, I also think that if we can take an early lead, put away our first chance of the game, they might collapse.

No mercy, I think we'll be professional about it and send them away with their tail between their legs again. 3-0, Coutinho, Watkins, then Buendia once he's replaced Ings.

[Allan C]

3-0 to us. Don’t care who scores. I know they’re fighting for their lives but basically they’re rubbish so a convincing win to send us home happy

[oishiiniku]

They will sit in and frustrate us like they did against Spurs. I can see it being 0-0 or 1-0 either way.

[Steve67]

Take the damn flip flops off and win this game. 14th is no longer good enough.  Sod Burnley, they can doom Leeds by decking the barcodes on the last day!

[Axl Rose]

2-1 to Burnley

[Skerra]

1-1 for me as well.

[olaftab]

SG needs to win this otherwise finishing 14th would not be acceptable.
