Premier League legends Alan Shearer and Ian Wright have predicted the outcome of Aston Villa's tie with Burnley on Thursday night.
The two sides face off in the penultimate game of the season with the Clarets set to be battling relegation into the final weekend. Villa, on the other hand, have little to play for, with European qualification out of reach while they are also in no danger of dropping down a division.
Burnley are currently third from bottom in the table, one point behind Leeds United but with a game in hand. A point at Villa Park would pull the Lancashire outfit out of the dropzone heading into this weekend's decisive round of matches.
