Manchester City are reigning champions after a dominant 2020/21 season and Pep Guardiola's side are favourites to win it again boasting as they do one of the best squads in Europe.

Aston Villa vs Burnley
This pair must now prepare themselves for the final day of the season, when Villa travel to face Manchester City and Burnley host Newcastle United. It'll be a nail-biting one for Burnley especially. That's all for now. Goodbye!
Aston Villa vs Burnley
Villa stay 14th in the Premier League table with only a faint chance of a top-half finish. They had 22 shots here, their highest total in a Premier League match this season, but couldn't beat an inspired Pope. Burnley rise to 17th, ahead of Leeds on goal difference. If the point they've just gained is the one that keeps them up, they'll have Pope to thank.
Aston Villa vs Burnley
It's honours even between Villa and Burnley at Villa Park, but either side could have won this. Villa will be disappointed not to have taken all three points after coming back from behind. Pope was in great form for Burnley though. The Clarets could have sealed a vital win through Weghorst but for Mings' magnificent block. Lowton's sending off in injury time came too late to change the result.

Villa force one more corner down their right. Burnley manage to see it out. Lennon darts down the wing and is stopped unfairly by Cash. That eats up a few more seconds, and the final whistle eventually blows!

Burnley may be down to 10 men, but they'll be damned if they let the draw slip from here. Cork buys another free-kick from Buendia.

There'll be at least four more minutes of this. Burnley would probably take the point right now if you offered it to them. They could easily be going home with all three but for Mings' brilliant block.
Aston Villa vs Burnley
Villa come close to finding a winner only to be denied by Pope! Ings latches onto Buendia's throughball to fire towards the bottom left corner. Pope closes the angle to keep the shot out. Digne crosses from the corner for Cash, whose effort whistles towards the top right corner and is also stopped by Pope.

Pope is getting called into action more frequently now. The Burnley keeper catches McGinn and Coutinho's powerful efforts from outside the box.
