  1. CLOSE!published at 56 mins

    Aston Villa 0-0 Burnley

    Villa go close again! Anwar el Ghazi flashes in a shot from about 25 yards and it zips a few yards wide of the far corner.

    Again - how is this 0-0?!

    I don't know what Bertrand Traore was trying to do there. He has tried to pick out Ollie Watkins. Be selfish! Make a name for yourself!

  3. GREAT SAVE!published at 51 mins

    Aston Villa 0-0 Burnley

    Jack Grealish runs at Burnley again, backing them into the area and finding Bertrand Traore on the right and his low cross is well cleared before Ollie Watkins heads on goal but that's another good save from Nick Pope!

    Aston Villa 0-0 Burnley

    Dwight McNeil has been excellent all night for Burnley and he whips in a cracking ball which is well defended at the far post.

    Robbie Brady's skidding low cross is well cleared away as the visitors in yellow try and force some early pressure.

    Sheffield United v Manchester United (20:00 GMT)

    Manchester United

    Manchester United hand Dean Henderson - a huge favourite at Bramall Lane - a start in goal as David de Gea sits on the bench.

    Alex Telles, Nemanja Matic and Anthony Martial also all start.

    Sheffield United make three changes as Jack Robinson, Oliver Burke and David McGoldrick all start.

    If this stays a draw by the way, Burnley would climb out of the bottom three.

  11. Cavani facing a ban?published at 18:56 Greenwich Mean Time 17 December 2020

    Sheffield United v Manchester United (20:00 GMT)

    Manchester United

    Manchester United's Edinson Cavani has been charged by the Football Association for a social media post containing a Spanish phrase that is offensive in some contexts.

    The Uruguayan sent the message after scoring United's winner at Southampton on 29 November.

    Cavani, 33, subsequently deleted the post and apologised when the meaning that could be attached was pointed out.

    The striker could be banned for three matches if he is found guilty.

  12. 'Villa didn't want half-time to come'published at 18:53 Greenwich Mean Time 17 December 2020

    I cannot speak highly enough of what Jack Grealish brings to Villa. His ability to go past players is world class.

    I cannot understand how they are going in 0-0 at half-time. Villa have been the better side but Burnley could easily have scored one or two themselves. It's an excellent game.

    Momentum is key and I'm not sure Villa will have wanted half-time to come. Sometimes when you break, the momentum is hard to regain.

    Sheffield United v Manchester United (20:00 GMT)

    The worrying thing for Sheffield United now is that they are not just struggling to score goals, they don't look like stopping them either.

    I always feared Chris Wilder's side would be a bit short in attack but if you had told me before the campaign started that they would be this poor defensively too, I wouldn't have believed you. A big reason they did so well last season was that they were hard to break down.

    Things look pretty bleak for the Blades and it is hard to see a repeat of what happened in this fixture last season, when they pinched a late point against Manchester United after leading 2-0 at one stage.

    That was a real thriller, but this time around it should be a lot more routine for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side.

    There is something missing from Manchester United at the moment, but they still have enough quality in their side to win this game comfortably.

    Aston Villa

    Aston Villa attempted 16 shots in the first half against Burnley, the most by any side without scoring in the opening 45 minutes of a Premier League match since Chelsea had 17 without finding the net v Brighton in September 2019.

  15. HALF-TIMEpublished at 18:47 Greenwich Mean Time 17 December 2020

    The best goalless 45 minutes of the season. I can't say fairer than that.

    I expected that to go into the net from Kortney Hause. Unbelievable. It's hit the middle of the bar. This is a joy to watch.

    It could quite easily be about 4-2 to Villa at the moment. Jack Grealish now has a powerful volley well blocked. Breathless.

  19. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 44 mins

    Aston Villa 0-0 Burnley

    Off the bar again! The post in fact.

    This is remarkable really. This time it's a Villa corner whipped in, Kortney Hause loses his man and thumps the woodwork with a header from about seven yards out.

    That was well executed by Robbie Brady but it just did not have enough pace to beat Martinez. This has been such an entertaining game. I cannot believe we haven't had a goal.
