Steven Gerrard has won four of his first six matches in charge of Aston Villa, only suffering defeats to Manchester City and Liverpool. Even those losses were by just a single goal. Realistically, he couldn't have hoped for a better start. An outbreak of COVID-19 at Watford led to Burnley's match with the Hornets on Wednesday being postponed so their players will be fresher heading into this weekend's match. Burnley have only lost two of their last 10 in the league but have drawn seven times in that run. Turning one point into three has been a big problem for Burnley this season. Villa have actually failed to win their last three home matches against Burnley but stand a great chance of rectifying that given the way they are now playing under Gerrard. 2:0
