Aston Villa team news vs Burnley as Emi Martinez misses clash at Turf Moor

Latest Aston Villa news from BirminghamLive as Unai Emery names his starting XI to face Burnley

Emi Martinez has not travelled with the Aston Villa squad for this afternoon's Premier League clash against Burnley at Turf Moor.

Robin Olsen starts in place of Martinez, while Unai Emery has made one other change to the team which thrashed Hibernian 5-0 on Wednesday, as Matty Cash comes in for Leon Bailey.

Villa are targeting their third win in a row in all competitions this afternoon, against a Burnley side who have only played once so far this season after their match at Luton Town was postponed last weekend.

From back to front, Emery starts Olsen in goal behind a defence of Ezri Konsa, Diego Carlos, Pau Torres and Lucas Digne. Douglas Luiz and Boubacar Kamara start in the double pivot in the midfield.

Matty Cash is expected to play from the right, and John McGinn from the left, while Moussa Diaby and Ollie Watkins make their third starts of the season.

Starting XI: Olsen; Konsa, Carlos, Torres, Digne; Kamara, Luiz, Cash, McGinn; Diaby, Watkins.

Subs: Zych, Marschall, Tielemans, Traore, Chambers, Zaniolo, Duran, Bailey.
