Following two disappointing results in the last week, Liverpool will be eager to bounce back when they host Burnley at Anfield on Saturday afternoon. The Reds suffered a humiliating 5-0 defeat at Manchester City last Saturday, and then they allowed Sevilla to score a late equalizer in the 2-2 draw in their Champions League tie at Anfield. The Reds would be without Sadio Mane, who picked up a red card in the defeat at City. Jurgen Klopp’s side were impressive going forward against Sevilla, but they were made to pay…

Tottenham will attempt to break their Wembley-hoodoo when they host Burnley at their new home on Sunday. Spurs started the season with a decent 2-0 win at Newcastle, but last weekend, they lost 2-1 to champions Chelsea at Wembley. Spurs need to start winning at their new home before it becomes a thing for them. Another failure to win at Wembley on Sunday will surely put unnecessary pressure on the title-chasing side this early in the season. Ahead of the game, the visitors find themselves level on points with their…

Aston Villa vs Burnley – Premier League preview and team news

Stephen Donovan

Aston Villa will be keen to bounce back from their hammering last time out by seeing off Burnley, who play their last top-flight game before returning to the Championship. After a fine run of form which inspired their escape from the threat of relegation, it was quite astonishing to see Villa taken apart by a rampant Southampton, conceding a blistering hat-trick to Sadio Mane and a brace from Shane Long amid shambolic defending to be out of the game by half-time. It is the kind of showing which they cannot afford…
