After failing to win any of their opening six matches across all competitions this season, Aston Villa have finally hit form with three wins on the run against Bologna, Fulham and Feyenoord. Sunday's hosts secured their first Premier League win of the season at home against Fulham last weekend, scoring three goals to their guests' one.
Burnley are in the midst of a winless run in the league and cup that spans five matches, including three defeats in the Premier League. The visitors have only failed to score in two of their eight matches so far this season, but have conceded three or more goals in three of their six outings in the Premier League.
Recent history favours Aston Villa in this fixture. Sunday's hosts have won four and lost just one of their last seven encounters with the Clarets. Aston Villa have scored exactly three goals in three of their last four league games against Burnley, and both teams have scored in seven of the pair's last eight meetings in the Premier League.
Taking all of the above into account, we've backed a comfortable 3-1 win for the home side on Sunday.
Aston Villa 3-1 Burnley
