Aston Villa’s Home Ground Fortress
| Season | Points | Games Won | Games Drawn | Games Lost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Since September 2024 | 44 | 12 | 8 | 1 |
Villa’s home ground, Villa Park, remains a formidable fortress. With 44 points amassed since September 2024, only three teams have outperformed them in the Premier League. They have lost just one home game during this period, equalling Liverpool’s record.
Burnley at Risk of Defensive Collapse
The Clarets have already conceded 13 goals in their first few matches, a concerning figure. This defensive frailty draws parallels to historical precedents where teams have struggled defensively early in the season. The last recorded instance of such vulnerability was Liverpool in 189495.
Managerial Points Per Game Comparison
- Daniel Farke: 0.62
- Scott Parker: 0.76 (Burnley)
- Scott Parker’s Championship Ratio: 1.95 (Best in league history)
Burnley’s manager Scott Parker faces scrutiny with a Premier League points per game ratio second only to Daniel Farke. However, Parker shines in Championship history, boasting the highest ratio among managers.
Key Players: Jaidon Anthony and Lamare Bogarde
Burnley’s Jaidon Anthony has been prolific, with four goals and one assist this season, surpassing his previous records. Comparisons arise with Aleksandar Mitrovic’s achievement for Fulham. For Villa, Lamare Bogarde excels under pressure, maintaining a commendable pass completion rate.
Morgan Rogers’ Playmaking Prowess
Morgan Rogers stands out with his role in open play assists, leading the league in 2025. His contributions are rivaled only by Villa legends like James Milner, Ashley Young, and Ollie Watkins, each setting high standards in their respective years.
As Aston Villa prepares to host Burnley, fans eagerly anticipate another chapter in this historic rivalry, with both teams having much at stake this season.
