Second-bottom Burnley are still yet to show any of the form in which they waltzed out of the Championship last season, and already sat five points behind 17th-placed Everton, risk being cut adrift in the relegation places. However, Vincent Kompany’s Clarets did win their last match on the road at Fulham and drew 1-1 at Brighton prior to that, so there’ll be hope that the Lancashire side can capitalise on Villa’s recent struggles.
