Aston Villa take on the visitors Burnley in the postponed round 18 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Thursday, May 19th at Villa Park (Birmingham).
Not everything worked out for Gerrard so far, but on the whole, he looked quite decent. He, having come from Rangers already in the course of the season, was able to return the team to the status of the mid-table side. It has long been clear that relegation to the Championship is not in danger, but it is clearly impossible to aim at something serious. But at the same time, a combat-ready team remains in Birmingham in May. In the last 5 rounds there was only 1 defeat, and then 1-2 to Liverpool, one of the contenders for the title in the Premier League. At the same time, there were draws with Leicester and, in the last round, Crystal Palace, while Norwich and Burnley managed to win. This allows you to keep a comfortable distance from the relegation zone.

This spring Burnley lost confidence in the mentor and decided to change something. At the same time, they did not have a new ready-made version, appointing Michael Jackson, a cult player for local fans in the past, but with no experience as a coach. Moreover, he directly said that he did not understand anything in tactics. But, apparently, he was a good motivator: with him he managed to take 10 points in the first matches after the change of coach - due to a draw with West Ham and victories over Southampton, Wolverhampton and Watford. But, such impression, on it the impulse also has ended. In both recent meetings, with Aston Villa and Tottenham, the Clarets lost. Because of this, they again went to the "departing", 18th place. But Leeds not only have 1 point more, but have already played 37 meetings. So there is a chance before the decisive round to bypass the competitor
Aston Villa only won 3-1 away in head-to-head on May 7th. But in the last season of the Premier League, Burnley gained 4 out of 6 possible points. Aston Villa have lost House and possibly Bailey. Burnley definitely cannot count on Westwood, Vydra, Gudmundsson, Mi, Rodriguez and Tarkovsky are also questionable. Bookmakers do not believe that Burnley will take points in this meeting. Aston Villa are on the move and should take a win.
Prediction for the match: Aston Villa to win.
