Aston Villa go in search of just their second win of the Premier League season, when they play host to Burnley on Saturday afternoon.The Villains currently sit in the relegation zone, having collected just four points from their first six matches, although all of those points have come from home fixtures - a win over Everton and a draw with West Ham. Dean Smith made a whole host of changes for the EFL Cup victory over Brighton in midweek and several players who missed that game, including Tyrone Mings, Wesley and ex-Burnley man Tom Heaton, are set to return. Defender Matt Targett is being tipped to make his league debut following his summer switch from Southampton, while Henri Lansbury, Jonathan Kodjia and James Chester are all still missing with injuries. Meanwhile, Burnley head to Villa Park looking to maintain a good record against Villa. The Clarets have lost just one of the last eight top-flight meetings between the sides - winning three. Sean Dyche's men go into the weekend in ninth, but are still looking for their first away win of the season. The visitors are boosted by the news that Johann Berg Gudmundsson should be fit to return, having recovered from a calf injury, while Dwight McNeil is expected to recover in time from a dead leg.
