The injury situation is rather similar to last week at both camps and gives us no clue, but what about the actual form and class?

Villa looked like they were going on top of the league last round in their match v Man United as they were 2-0 up, but then something very rare and untypical of coach Unai Emery happened. He failed, got more passive, and the rest is history:

Villa miraculously lost to poor-form United, but these things happen and I would not read too much into it.

Villa have the best home record of all teams, 8-1-0 after 9 home games, with a 26-6 goal difference. The draw came against Sheffield United, not long ago. Is there a reason to worry, is there a drop in form?

Burnley however remain as a bottom-3 club both in the actual table and in the performance data table as well. There is no light in sight, even if they won 2 games in December. Winning over Sheffield is something they are capable of doing, but the 0-2 away win at Fulham was another ridiculous show of the importance of goals in football. They were badly beaten on the pitch from the start, but they scored twice from their few and mediocre chances, whereas Fulham failed to find the bet.

Burnley class shows well in the matches against the top teams, let us have a look:

they have lost all games vs top-5 teams by 2 or 3 goals, and to Brentford as well, and to Chelsea, and to Palace, and to Everton...

This will not be any different.

Good luck!

伤病的情况和上周两个训练营的情况很相似，也没有给我们任何线索，但是实际的状态和水平如何呢?

维拉在上一轮与曼联的比赛中以2-0领先，看起来他们将成为联赛的领头羊，但随后发生了一件非常罕见和不典型的主教练乌奈·埃梅里的事情。他失败了，变得更加被动，剩下的就是历史了:

维拉奇迹般地输给了状态不佳的曼联，但这些事情发生了，我不会过多解读。

维拉拥有所有球队中最好的主场战绩，9场主场8胜1负，净胜球为26-6。平局发生在不久前对阵谢菲尔德联队的比赛中。我们有理由担心吗，我们的状态下降了吗?

然而伯恩利仍然是一个倒数第三的俱乐部，无论是在实际表还是在表现数据表中。即使他们在12月赢了两场比赛，也看不到一丝曙光。战胜谢菲尔德是他们有能力做到的事情，但客场0-2战胜富勒姆是进球在足球中重要性的又一次荒谬的展示。他们从一开始就在球场上遭到惨败，但他们利用为数不多且平庸的机会梅开二度，而富勒姆却没能找到机会。

伯恩利在与强队的比赛中表现出色，让我们来看看:

他们在对阵前5强的比赛中都输掉了2到3个球，对布伦特福德、切尔西、水晶宫、埃弗顿也是如此……

这不会有什么不同。

好运！
