Villa continue their bounce back after their opening-day drubbing against Newcastle with successive wins. Next up, they host Hibernian at Villa Park in the second leg of their Europa Conference League qualifier. Burnley have now lost their opening two Premier League games for a third consecutive season despite their improved second-half showing. They travel to face Nottingham Forest in the second round of the EFL Cup on Wednesday as they loo for their first win of the season.

Burnley vs Aston Villa

16:00

Matty Cash's brace and Moussa Diaby's second-half strike saw Villa see off a spirited Burnley fightback to win 3-1 away at Turf Moor. Unai Emery's side raced into a two-goal lead at the break after two goals from wing-back Cash inside the first 20 minutes. Burnley hit back straight after the breakthrough Lyle Foster's 47th-minute effort as the Clarets pilled on the pressure in search of an equaliser. But it would be Villa who got the vital next goal when the impressive Diaby added to his first-half assist with a well-taken finish to restore Villa's two-goal advantage and secure back-to-back Premier League wins for the Villans.

The life is slowly fading from this game with Villa doing a good job of managing the tempo in added time so far.

Burnley vs Aston Villa

15:51

Five minutes of added time now to end this second half.

Burnley vs Aston Villa

15:50

CHANCE! Rodriguez has been involved plenty since coming off the bench. This time he meets Cullen's cross before Olsen but can't get enough on the ball to divert it on target.

Burnley vs Aston Villa

15:49

Olsen has to react sharply as Rodriguez's cross is deflected goalwards off Torres. It's a smart save from the keeper but the flag is up anyway.

Burnley vs Aston Villa

15:46

OVER! Rodriguez with a chance straight off the bench but, on the spin, the Englishman can only blaze over the bar from the edge of the box. A big chance, that, late in the game.

Substitution Douglas Luiz Soares de Paulo Youri Marion A. Tielemans

Another double change for Burnley as Bruun Larsen first replaces Amdouni.

Burnley vs Aston Villa

15:42

More tidy work from Zaniolo since his introduction as he feeds Cash on the right edge of the box. With two goals already, the wing-back has only one thing on his mind but his effort slices over the bar.

Substitution Lyle Brent Foster Jay Enrique Rodríguez

A half chance for Watkins on the edge of the box, but O'Shea is firmly behind the effort and it's blocked away.

Burnley vs Aston Villa

15:38

Luiz delivers another Villa corner looking for Carlos, but O'Shea rises well to head away the danger for Burnley.

Burnley vs Aston Villa

15:37

There's a quick VAR check for a handball by Amdouni but nothing doing and play continues.

Burnley vs Aston Villa

15:36

CHANCE! Straight off the bench, Zaniolo has a great chance to find Villa's fourth as he finds himself in a two-on-one situation with Watkins alongside him. The Italian opts to go alone but his effort is deflected behind for a corner.

Burnley vs Aston Villa

15:33

Substitution Moussa Diaby Nicolò Zaniolo

Burnley vs Aston Villa

15:33

Prior to this game, Villa had won two of their last three away league games against Burnley (L1), as many victories as they'd picked up in their previous 29 visits to Turf Moor combined (D6 L21). Could they be on their way to three in their last four?

Burnley vs Aston Villa

15:28

SAVE! A massive save from Trafford but Watkins has to score! It's more great work from Diaby who fires in a low cross from the left straight into the feet of Watkins. The Englishman is six yards out but fires straight at Trafford who makes a smart reaction save to keep his side in the game.

15:28

Substitution Luca Warrick Daeovie Koleosho Nathan Daniel Jerome Redmond

Burnley vs Aston Villa

15:28

Substitution Sander Gard Bolin Berge Aaron James Ramsey

Burnley vs Aston Villa

15:26

A vital goal from Villa who score with their first shot on target in the second half to respond after that barrage of pressure from Burnley early in the second half.

Burnley vs Aston Villa

15:21

Assist Lucas Digne

Burnley vs Aston Villa

15:21

Cash gets forward once again and his eyes light up at the prospect of a hat-trick. He tries his luck from the right edge of the area but Roberts gets a sturdy block in to clear the ball away.

Burnley vs Aston Villa

15:20

SAVE! Olsen redeems himself straight away with a fine stop down low to his right as he parries away Delcroix's powerful header from the corner.

Burnley vs Aston Villa

15:20

A less-than-convincing clearance from Olsen with his feet and, in the end, Villa concede a corner.

Burnley vs Aston Villa

15:18

The first real attack from Villa after the break and Diaby and Cash nearly combine again. It's the winger who drifts over to the left side, this time, but a Burnley defender can get in to clear the ball before his low cross reaches the onrushing Cash inside the box.

Burnley vs Aston Villa

15:15

What a difference the break has made. Wave after wave of dangerous Burnley attacks now as Konso slides in to clear away Berge's low cross.

Burnley vs Aston Villa

15:14

Burnley have had 72 per cent possession in this second half as they hunt down an equaliser now after that early goal.

Burnley vs Aston Villa

15:12

Gudmundsson delivers the corner and Delcroix swings a leg at it from close to the penalty box. It's a very difficult chance for the full-back, who makes good contact but sends it way over the bar.

Burnley vs Aston Villa

15:11

A far brighter start to this second half and Burnley now have a corner after Koleosho's cross is turned behind by Konsa.

Burnley vs Aston Villa

15:07

Assist Jóhann Berg Guðmundsson

Burnley vs Aston Villa

15:07

With that change done, Burnley get us back underway for this second half.

Burnley vs Aston Villa

15:05

Substitution Benson Manuel Hedilazio Jóhann Berg Guðmundsson

Burnley vs Aston Villa

14:58

That first half is about as good as Emery could have asked for from his Villa side. They were compact at the back, broke with pace and incisiveness, and now have a comfortable two-goal lead. He'll demand more of the same after the break. Kompany, however, has a problem to solve. His Burnley side have looked blunt in possession and hugely vulnerable in transition. A much-improved second-half display is required if they are to avoid slumping to back-to-back defeats to start this season.

Burnley vs Aston Villa

14:54

Two goals from Matty Cash are the difference at the break as Aston Villa lead 2-0 against Burnley at Turf Moor. Emery's side opened the scoring after just eight minutes when Cash converted Ollie Watkins's cross at the far post. The Polish wing-back, who is playing his 100th game for Villa, soon had his second in the 20th minute when he lashed home a strike after combining well with Moussa Diaby down the right. Diaby could have had Villa's third, but for an excellent tackle from Delcroix, with Burnely rarely threatening outside of a long-range effort from Amdouni which drifted over the bar.

14:47

There will be three minutes of added time to end this first half.

Burnley vs Aston Villa

14:46

OVER! The first signs of life for Burnley after a magical run from Amdouni who shows great footwork to dance around a handful of Villa players. He tries his luck from outside the area but his right-footed whipped effort just drifts narrowly over the bar.

Burnley vs Aston Villa

14:41

A late free-kick for Villa as Diaz whips in the ball from a central position. Carlos looks to head on it but Trafford comes through a crowded area to get a solid punch on the ball.

Burnley vs Aston Villa

14:39

Cash and Diaby again combine down the right. The latter cuts the ball across the box but Watkins can't quite get a clear shot on goal at the near post and Burnley can clear.

Burnley vs Aston Villa

14:37

With around ten minutes of normal time remaining in this first half, Burnley are still yet to register a shot on target.

Burnley vs Aston Villa

14:35

CLOSE! Villa so close to a huge chance for a third goal as Diaby surges through the middle of the Burnley defence. He's expertly picked out by Diaz but it's a must-make tackle from Delcroix who dispossesses the Villa winger right before he looked to pull the trigger.

Burnley vs Aston Villa

14:33

Foster nearly sneaks in behind the Villa defence after a nice, lofted pass from Cullen. The striker loses possession trying to round Olsen on the edge of the box but it wouldn't have counted regardless as the offside flag goes up.

Burnley vs Aston Villa

14:32

Benson has been a bright spot in an otherwise bleak start for the Clarets this game. The winger skips past McGinn again but as he finds himself swarmed by Villa shirts as he closes in on the penalty area and loses the ball.

Burnley vs Aston Villa

14:30

Plenty of possession for Burnley after that second Villa goal but not much in the way of chances for the home side.

Burnley vs Aston Villa

14:26

Luiz delivers Villa's first corner of the game but it's headed over the bar by Carlos at the near post.

Burnley vs Aston Villa

14:25

Villa are breaking forward at will on the transition and Burnley can't deal with it at the minute. Torres finds Digne over the top but Al Dakhil does well to get back and block the cross out for a corner.

Burnley vs Aston Villa

14:22

Should Burnley lose today, it would mean the Clarets have lost their opening two Premier League games for a third consecutive Premier League season, having already done so in 2020-21 and 2021-22.

Burnley vs Aston Villa

14:21

Assist Moussa Diaby

Burnley vs Aston Villa

14:18

Benson cuts back dangerously onto his left foot and whips in an enticing ball into the box. No Burnley player gambles on it, however, and the ball drifts harmlessly out for a goal kick.

Burnley vs Aston Villa

14:14

Koleosho with a nice delivery from the left for the Clarets, but it's just over the head of Foster inside the Villa box.

Burnley vs Aston Villa

14:13

The perfect start for Villa on the break. They switched up to a three-at-the-back formation and it worked to great effect there, with the wing-back bombing forward to convert at the back post.

Burnley vs Aston Villa

14:09

Assist Oliver George Arthur Watkins

Burnley vs Aston Villa

14:08

Benson's delivery is poor and Cash is able to clear it away with ease at the near post. Villa break up the pitch through Diaby, who is on his own, but does superbly to drive up the pitch and into the box. In the end, the effort is tame and the retreating Burnely defence can block the shot.

Burnley vs Aston Villa

14:07

Burnley have the first corner of the game after Forster spins into space down the left before seeing his cross turned behind by Konsa.

Burnley vs Aston Villa

14:05

The early signs do appear to show that Villa will be lining up in a back three formation with Konsa, Carlos and Torres the three centre-backs.

Burnley vs Aston Villa

14:02

Aston Villa get this first half under way.

Burnley vs Aston Villa

13:49

Aston Villa have won two of their last three away league games against Burnley (L1), as many victories as they'd picked up in their previous 29 visits to Turf Moor combined (D6 L21).

Burnley vs Aston Villa

13:49

Aston Villa also make two changes after their midweek win over Hibernian. Emiliano Martinez hasn't recovered from a minor injury he sustained in that game, with the Argentine replaced in goal by Olsen. Cash also comes into the starting XI, in place of Bailey, as Villa potentially move to a back three.

Burnley vs Aston Villa

13:49

Burnley make two changes from their 3-0 defeat to Manchester City. Jordan Beyer misses out with a knock and is replaced by Delcroix, while Benson replaces Vitinho further up the pitch.

Burnley vs Aston Villa

Burnley vs Aston Villa

13:37

Aston Villa, meanwhile, have endured a topsy-turvy start to their first full season under Unai Emery. Having lost 5-1 on opening day, they bounced back convincingly with a thumping 4-0 win against Everton at home and now travel to Turf Moor looking for their third win on the bounce having thrashed Hibernian 5-0 in a midweek Europa Conference League qualifier.

Burnley vs Aston Villa

13:37

It's a clash of the claret and blue kits in Lancashire today as Burnley host Villa. Vincent Kompany's side had a week off last weekend, with their clash against Luton Town postponed, meaning they head into this fixture with extra preparation but still in search of their first points of the season after their opening-day defeat to Manchester City.
