Steven Gerrard has seen his Aston Villa team experience frustrating inconsistency since he took over from Dean Smith back in November.

Yet despite their inability to put a significant run together, they are still in with an outside shout of finishing in the top 10 at the end of the Premier League season.

A win against Burnley would take them to within a single point of the top half heading into the final day of the campaign.

Villa will also know with a trip to Manchester City on the horizon that this may be their final opportunity to move up the league table.

Here is everything you need to know:

Odds

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.
