Relegated Burnley have the joint-worst home record in this season's Premier League and may not get much from an Aston Villa side targeting Champions League qualification on two fronts.

The Villans beat Nottingham Forest 4-0 on Thursday to reach the Europa League final, but boss Unai Emery insists that his aim is to return to the Europe's top table through the league, and even a much-changed team could have too much for the managerless Clarets.

Burnley vs Aston Villa preview 

Already relegated and with an interim manager in charge, Burnley are unlikely to take any comfort from Unai Emery's comments that Aston Villa's priority remains to qualify for the Champions League through their Premier League position.

The Clarets were outclassed 3-1 at Leeds last Friday and although a much-changed Villa lost 2-1 at home to Tottenham a couple of days later, they responded by walloping Nottingham Forest 4-0 on Thursday to reach the Europa League final.

A victory over Freiburg on May 20 will earn Emery's side a place in the Champions League next season, yet the Basque boss is determined to ensure nothing is left to chance prior to their trip to Istanbul.

Winning at Turf Moor will lift them to fourth in the table, with a six-point advantage on sixth-place Bournemouth, and even if Villa rotate their side, they should have too much quality for Burnley

The Clarets' tally of 11 points is the joint-worst home total in the Premier League and they are winless in their last nine games.

Villa have failed to win their last five away league matches but with the Europa League sorted for now, Emery's focus is back on domestic matters.

The last six meetings have ended with both sides on the scoresheet and while Burnley can play their part, the visitors can become the 11th away team to win at Turf Moor.

Humphreys has to be a card candidate

An elegant and skilful defender, Bashir Humphreys has played across the back-line this season. 

However, a by-product of his versatility has been that he has occasionally looked ragged, averaging 0.37 bookings per 90 minutes.

Humphreys' yellow at Leeds was his sixth of the campaign, while referee Anthony Taylor is going at 3.96 cautions a game this season.
