Aston Villa vs Burnley

After going winless in each of their opening six games of the season (D4 L2), Aston Villa are now on the joint-longest ongoing winning run among Premier League teams across all competitions (4 – also Arsenal).

Burnley have lost each of their opening four away games of a league season for the first time since 2009-10 in the Premier League – only in that 2009-10 campaign have they conceded more times (14) in their first four away games of a Premier League season than the 13 they have leaked this term.

Aston Villa remain unbeaten in each of their last 30 Premier League home games when scoring first (W26 D4), with Liverpool (105) and Manchester United (42) the only current top-flight sides on a longer run.

Aston Villa have won both of their last two Premier League games against Burnley but haven’t won more successive league meetings with the Clarets since March 1900 (5).

Burnley’s last league visit to Aston Villa saw them lose 3-2 in December 2023; they last lost successive away league matches at Villa in April 1966 (4 in a row).

Aston Villa are unbeaten in their last 16 Premier League matches against newly promoted sides (W12 D4) since losing 3-0 to Fulham in October 2022. They did lose against Scott Parker the last time he faced Villa however, a 2-0 defeat to promoted Bournemouth in August 2022.

Burnley have picked up just four points in their first six Premier League games this season (W1 D1 L4) and they are yet to win a single point away from home (L3). The Clarets have lost their last four away Premier League games, last losing more consecutively between November 2016 and February 2017 (seven).

Since the start of last September, only three teams have picked up more home Premier League points than Aston Villa (44 – W12 D8 L1) and no ever present side has lost fewer home games in that time (1, level with Liverpool).
