Well an interesting few days to say the least. Sunday’s win at Arsenal was our first League victory over the Gunners since September 1974 when Peter Noble netted in a 1-0 away win. If we can beat the Villains on Thursday we would only have to go back to May 2015 for our last win against them. Danny Ings netting in a 1-0 win at Villa Park. There is a little pattern of 1-0 away wins emerging here and another to build on that excellent result at the Emirates would be most welcome. Form over the last 5 games slightly favours the Clarets as we have picked up 8 points while Villa have garnered 6. Both teams are beginning to get players back from injury. Heaton is close for Villa but Martinez who was excellent against Wolves will probably keep his place. Douglas Luiz and Matty Cash are both suspended so El Mohamady may very well come in.Trezeguet and Wesley are out but Barkley may be risked. For Burnley Bardsley and Stephens will come back into the reckoning after having a run out with the Under 23’s against Reading. We may well find ourselves back in the bottom 3 before our trip to Villa Park but at least there are some reasons for optimism going into this fixture. COYC!
