Burnley currently sit in the bottom three of the Premier League, one point behind Leeds and two adrift of Everton. However, they do have a better goal difference than either, meaning that four points will almost certainly be enough to secure their place in the top flight.
Three points against Aston Villa would help, then — and Villa don't have anything to play for themselves beyond pride. They're safely nestled in the lower-mid table, 10 points above Burnley, and manager Steven Gerrard's thoughts may have turned to how he'll strengthen his squad in the close season.
Here's how they line up:
Aston Villa: Martinez, Cash, Chambers, Mings, Digne, Ramsey, Luiz, McGinn, Buendia, Watkins, Chukwuemeka.
Burnley: Pope, Roberts, Long, Collins, Tarkowski, Taylor, Brownhill, Cork, McNeil, Cornet, Barnes.

How to watch the Aston Villa vs Burnley live stream in Canada
Canadians can watch the Aston Villa vs Burnley live stream on DAZN.
Sadly, DAZN no longer offers new customers a 30-day free-trial period, so you'll have to pay the $20 CAD per month fee, although you can save a little by buying annually ($150 CAD). DAZN, if you're unfamiliar, has apps on every single streaming platform there is.
