Burnley fans would have been left thoroughly concerned on Sunday after Leeds’ stoppage time equaliser against Brighton dropped Mike Jackson’s side into the relegation zone.

Burnley now need at least one point from their final two Premier League games of the season if they are to avoid the drop.

Their first opportunity comes away at Aston Villa on Thursday evening, before they host Newcastle at Turf Moor on Sunday.

But they will not want to be relying on other results on the final day, so can they climb above Leeds and possibly Everton too with a win at Villa Park?

Here is everything you need to know:

When is it and what time is kick-off?

The match will get underway at 8pm on Thursday 19 May at Villa Park.

Odds

Aston Villa - 21/20

Draw - 13/5

Burnley - 11/4

Prediction

Burnley will be desperate for a result here after back-to-back defeats at the hands of Aston Villa and Spurs. It promises to be a tough game for the visitors given this is Villa’s final home game of the season. But the smart money would be on the spoils being shared - a result that would set up a fascinating final day in the relegation battle. 1-1.
