Lindelof is becoming a third CB with the ball, so Cash is essentially a winger as McGinn moves inside. Interestingly, on the left, Rogers is staying wide and Maatsen is making underlaps inside Walker. Emery always wants one his FBs inside the pitch - usually it's Cash.#AVFC
Villa far too lax so far. Mings one of them who is getting caught & taking too many touches. Burnley's goal comes from Cash's cross deflecting into the keeper's arms. He is then out of position, McGinn has to cover at right-back & cannot apply pressure to the initial shot. #AVFC
Another Martinez parry central and into a dangerous area. A weird season - has been outrageously good in a lot of matches but still, quite frequently, has developed this habit of parrying relatively straight forward shots centrally. Came out of nowhere, really. #AVFC
Fantastic from McGinn. Great first touch and vision to pick out Rogers' run. He drags his shot just wide. Be very surprised if Villa go long today. It's quiet here, so can Tielemans and Mings shouting "press, press!" Burnley's centre-backs. #AVFC
Villa fans singing about Istanbul. In the meantime, the 'wave cam' is not exactly greeted by enthusiasm from the home supporters. Lindelof again starts in midfield alongside Tielemans, with Rogers to the left, McGinn to the right and Barkley central. #AVFC
#AVFC XI: Martinez; Cash, Konsa, Mings, Maatsen; Lindelof, Tielemans; McGinn, Barkley, Rogers; Watkins Three changes from Forest. Rogers keeps up his 100% presence in the league, but shifts to the left and will have a changed frontline around him.
Good morning from a sunny Turf Moor. #AVFC buoyant after Thursday night but today perhaps a good opportunity to improve things in the league - winless away from home in the previous five and have picked up seven points in the last eight games. A win would move Villa up to 4th
Bournemouth are three points behind Aston Villa after their win against Fulham. Brighton's 3-0 win against Wolves means they stay within two points of Andoni Iraola's side.
