Burnley welcome Aston Villa to Turf Moor on Sunday, as Unai Emery’s visitors look to get back to winning ways in the Premier League.

Villa go into the weekend in fine fettle, having beaten Nottingham Forest 4-0 in the second leg of their Europa League semi-final on Thursday.

This came after a poor recent run for the Villans, having lost three times in just over a week across both the league and Europe.

Now, the focus remains on securing a Champions League spot, with the Midlanders in touching distance.

Making the trip to Lancashire, Villa are looking to put three points on the board after losing to Tottenham last time out in the league.

How to watch Burnley vs Aston Villa

With the final rounds of the campaign, Villa are among multiple sides selected for TV coverage in all areas of the league standings.

As a result of their European commitments on Thursday, it will be a Sunday day out for the Villans.

Alongside Celtic vs Rangers and the League Two playoff semi-finals, Sunday is packed full of Premier League action.

As a result, Villa’s clash with Burnley will be available to watch on Sky Sports +, accessible with a Sky Sports subscription in the UK.

At the same time, Nottingham Forest’s bout with Newcastle and Everton’s trip to Crystal Palace will be shown on Sky Sports Premier League, and Sky Sports Formula 1.

Those not able to watch will be able to tune in via BBC Radio WM, who will provide their coverage as usual.

Momentum the goal for Aston Villa

With the Europa League final around the corner, building momentum is now the core task for Emery and his side.

Champions League football is all but secured, but the B6 outfit must show no mercy on their travels this Sunday as they build form for the closing weeks of the term.

After the trip to Burnley, Villa face far from favourable clashes against Liverpool and Manchester City.

Looking to avoid a late scramble in the Champions League race, they must take full advantage of the relegated Clarets on Sunday – building crucial momentum ahead of the final weeks.
