Burnley vs Aston Villa Match Preview: Key Injuries and Team News

Match at Turf Moor, Burnley, on 10 May 2026 in the Premier League Regular Season - 36, with Burnley hosting Aston Villa. Burnley sit 19th on 20 points, while Aston Villa arrive 5th with 58 points.

Injuries and Suspensions

Burnley’s defensive resources are stretched. J. Beyer (Hamstring Injury) is sidelined. J. Cullen (Knee Injury) is sidelined, removing an experienced midfield option in front of the back line. C. Roberts (Muscle Injury) is sidelined, further limiting choices in wide defensive areas. There are no listed suspensions for the hosts.

Aston Villa have a key midfield anchor missing. B. Kamara (Knee Injury) is sidelined, a notable absence in protecting a defence that has conceded 44 league goals. Two further names are uncertain: Alysson (Muscle Injury) is doubtful, reducing depth in the attacking positions, while A. Onana (Calf Injury) is doubtful in midfield. No suspensions are reported for Villa either.

Attacking Threats

From an attacking-output perspective, both sides retain their main threats. For Aston Villa, O. Watkins (11 league goals, 2 assists) and M. Rogers (9 goals, 5 assists) are available, preserving the bulk of their goal contribution in a side that has scored 48 times. Burnley, on 35 goals for the campaign, lose no listed top scorer but must compensate for structural absences in defence and midfield that could undermine their ability to progress the ball and sustain attacks.
