Though they haven’t got much to play for themselves, Aston Villa could have a say in the races at both ends of the Premier League over the next five days.
Their final day matchup with Manchester City could decide who wins the league title while their fixture on Thursday’s Premier League TV schedule against Burnley at Villa Park may influence who is relegated to the Championship in 2021/22.
The Clarets are in the bottom three as things stand but they have a game in hand over Leeds United and due to their far superior goal difference, only need a draw to move back above the Whites.
Judging by Newcastle United’s performance in the 2-0 win against Arsenal, getting a result against them on the final day of the season is going to be tough, which makes their midweek trip to the West Midlands even more important.
Michael Jackson’s side were comfortably beaten when these two sides met at Turf Moor less than a fortnight ago and they simply have to be better on Thursday evening.

Our prediction: Aston Villa v Burnley
Burnley were well beaten when these two sides met at Turf Moor, with Erik Pieters’ stoppage-time goal nothing more than a consolation.
The Clarets’ future is still in their hands and any result against Villa would be a huge step toward safety but their lengthy injury list isn’t going to make things easy for them.
It seems Dale Stephens could return and it would be no surprise to see Jackson opt for a 4-4-2, which may just help them earn a hard-fought draw.
They showed impressive mettle against Spurs and need to produce that again on Thursday.
Our prediction: Aston Villa 1-1 Burnley (6/1 at bet365)
