Prediction: 1-0
Burnley
Thanks to El-Ghazi’s late goal from the penalty spot, Aston Villa defeated Wolverhampton at Molineux Stadium at the weekend. The Villans once again proved their worth in the 2020/21 season, and it is no wonder bookies see them as favourites to win Thursday’s clash against Burnley. Matthew Cash misses the match through suspension, while Ross Barkley is unlikely to recover in time to face the Clarets.
Burnley, on the other hand, did well to beat ten-man Arsenal thanks to Aubameyang’s own goal. Sean Dyche’s troops managed to escape the relegation zone, but they will have a big fish to fry in the midweek clash against Aston Villa. The likes of Cork, Gudmundsson, and Stephens remain in the recovery room, while Bardsley should recover in time to face the Villans. Anyhow, home win should be considered as Aston Villa are more of a team Burnley.

Highlighted Player (Frédéric Guilbert):
Despite his modest height for a centre-back, Frederic Guilbert is a remarkably strong in aerial duels. Former France U21 international is a player of great positional awareness and tactical discipline who makes immense defensive contribution for his team.
A versatile defender who can play in various positions across the backline, Guilbert can also be deployed as a right midfielder where his speed and agility come to play. Born in Valognes, Frederic Guilbert spent all of his career playing in France although he has thus far failed to spend more than two seasons at a single club. Spells at Caen, AS Cherbourg, Bordeaux were insufficient for Guilbert to secure regular playing time and prove his worth, which he hopes would change at Caen.
Guilbert joined the Stade Michel d’Ornano based club on a permanent deal in 2017, after a season-long loan spell away from Bordeaux. He went on to play 42 matches across all competitions in his second season with Caen and has done well to announce himself as an important player for the French side.
Highlighted Team (Burnley):
Burnley were one of the founding members of the Football League back in 1888. The Clarets did remarkably well to win the FA Cup trophy back in 1914 and the club owners have been trying to bring glory days back to Turf Moor ever since.
Burnley defeated Liverpool in the 1913/1914 FA Cup final and, no doubt, this is regarded as the greatest achievement in the club’s history. The Clarets finished the 2015/2016 Championship campaign in top position in the standings and, as a result, they will participate in the English Premier League in the 2016/2017 season.
Burnley play their home games at Turf Moor and the capacity of the stadium is 21,401. The Clarets have won two Community Shield trophies so far, in 1960 and 1973, but they have yet to clinch the Premier League title. Claret is the dominant colour of the team’s home shirts.
