Team News
Aston Villa
Burnley
- Tim Sherwood may use this opportunity, now that Villa are safe, to rotate his squad a little ahead of the FA Cup final, particularly given last weekend's drubbing at the hands of Southampton.
- Kieran Richardson was rested having suffered with a slight calf problem and could return, depending on whether the issue is still bothering him. Meanwhile Nathan Baker is back in training and could replace Jores Okore after conceding 6 last week.
- Elsewhere the likes of Carlos Sanchez, Carles Gil and Scott Sinclair - who made his loan move to the club permanent this week - will hope for a chance, with the trio signed under Lambert's reign struggling to make an impression under the new manager.
- Sean Dyche will continue to the reward the side that he has stuck by throughout the season.
- Sam Vokes and Michael Kightly are the two players perhaps most likely to pose a threat to the likes of Taylor and Barnes in the starting XI.
- This will likely be Danny Ings' last appearance for the club, with the striker out of contract in the summer and expected to move on.
