Follow live coverage as Aston Villa face Burnley in the Premier League today.

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.

European champions Chelsea have proven they have what it takes to dethrone City, however, having done it in last season's Champions League final and will be hoping to add a domestic title to the one won in Porto.

Liverpool were winners back in 2020 ending a 30-year wait for league glory and Jurgen Klopp is sure to have them back challenging again at the sharp end this season too while Manchester United will be looking to be back in the title picture with Cristiano Ronaldo returning to his former club in the summer.

It's not all about the action at the top though with Norwich, Watford and Brentford promoted to the top tier for 2020/21 and hoping to hold their own against the best English football has to offer and avoid the drop.

We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:

Aston Villa vs Burnley

From Burnley's latest corner, Lennon goes for goal from outside the box. That's an easier save for Martinez. Burnley will be cursing their luck though.

What a chance for Burnley! Taylor's cross from the left finds Roberts, who shoots from very close range! Martinez saves but can't control the ball. Roberts cuts the rebound back for Weghorst, but Mings makes a spectacular block to stop the Dutchman's shot from going in! That looked like it would be a certain goal for the visitors. Instead they have to settle for a corner.

Buendia is too forceful in holding off Cork and gives away a free-kick in Burnley's half. Burnley will be grateful for the opportunity to take a breather.

Villa are even more dominant now than they were in the first half. Burnley are just about hanging on, but they're surely starting to tire.

Digne fires well wide with his left foot from outside the box. Villa still look the more likely winners of this match.
