After a torrid start to the season, Aston Villa appear to be back on track following three consecutive victories. They will be looking to make it four in a row on Sunday, when they take on lowly Burnley at Villa Park.
The Clarets were thrashed 5-1 by Manchester City last week, but they have generally been competitive in the opening weeks of the season and manager Scott Parker will be hopeful that his side will be able to move away from the relegation zone as the season progresses.
After failing to score in their opening four Premier League games, Aston Villa have belatedly hit their stride by recording victories over Bologna, Fulham and Feyenoord over the last two weeks. Unai Emery's side are still performing slightly below their best, but another win on Sunday would propel Villa up the Premier League standings, as they look to improve on last season's sixth place finish.

Our Aston Villa vs Burnley Prediction
Burnley have played better than their 18th place position suggests, but we can't see them getting anything from their weekend trip to Villa Park.
Aston Villa are slowly finding their form and will come into Sunday's game full of confidence after a vital midweek Europa League win. But whilst we are tipping Villa to claim all three points, we do think that the Clarets can find the net against a home defence that has conceded a few soft goals in the early stages of the season.
Our prediction for Aston Villa vs Burnley is: Villa to win and both teams to score.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
