AVL vs BUR Dream11 Tips for Premier League Aston Villa vs Burnley 17 December

AVL vs BUR Dream11: Aston Villa and Burnley square off in the Premier League on Thursday evening having both recorded impressive victories at the weekend. Dean Smith’s Aston Villa were awarded a last-minute penalty, which they converted to beat Wolves in a bad-tempered affair that saw both teams reduced to ten-men. Burnley meanwhile, defended solidly and had goalkeeper Nick Pope to thank for a number of excellent saves as they secured a famous 0-1 triumph over ten-man Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium. Villa come into this match without two key players in right-back Matty Cash and central midfielder Douglas Luiz due to suspension, which could turn out to be costly for them considering their performances so far this season. Burnley’s line-up is far more settled and they are expected to approach this match in a similar fashion to the Arsenal game, soaking up pressure and using any set pieces to their advantage.
