    Sheffield United almost lost momentum after promotion, with lots of turnover in the squad.

    They lost some big names, sold Berge and Ndiaye, then McAtee and Doyle, and also lost the experience of Billy Sharp and Stephens too.

    That's why the signing of Cameron Archer will help them, should offer a goal threat up top.

    Matty Cash

    Oh, this is wonderful!

    Villa rip through Burnley. A brilliant little bit of quick, precision passing ends with Matty Cash finding Moussa Diaby and him pulling it back into the box for the full-back to smash home his second of the game.

    Butter, say hello to a hot knife.

    Ben Osborn has twanged something in his groin and can't carry on. Former Liverpool youngster Yasser Larouci is on in his place on the left. Just Kyle Walker and Bernardo Silva to worry about son.

    Burnley are seeing a fair bit of the ball. Villa allowing them that around halfway. The home fans are roaring them on but they're lacking that extra bit of quality just now to pick open a defence.

    If it's true that possession is 9/10ths of the law, then Man City are judge, jury and executioners considering their possession stats.

    For a moment, it looks like Ollie Watkins might be in again. He gathers a pass in behind the home defence from John McGinn, but after having to check and swivel, his progress is halted by an offside flag.

    It's another example of that potentially lethal combo for Villa, though.

    Players don't like chasing footballs, you much prefer having the ball. If you're spending 90 minutes chasing players better than you then you're in for a tough afternoon.

    Don't do it, don't do it, don't DO IT!

    Kyle Walker does it, shooting from about 45 yards out and he can only cannon the ball into the back of a team-mate.

    Better from Burnley.

    Manuel Benson whips a cross into the box but it curls a bit too much and drifts ahead of the awaiting home forwards and out for a goal-kick.

    Burnley conceded after just four minutes in their opener against Manchester City and eight minutes here.

    These poor starts are really hurting Vincent Kompany's side and he needs to work out how to shore it up in the opening exchanges.

    As you'd imagine, the Villa fans are in fine voice now. They've cut Burnley open once and know they have the capacity to do so again. Burnley yet to get at Robin Olsen.

    William Osula does offer that physical threat up top for Sheffield United, he could be an outlet for them.

    He is a young player still though, up against Ake and Dias who are two very strong, big, experienced centre halves.

    Half a chance for Erling Haaland and that normally means goals. Ruben Dias picks out the run of Julian Alvarez into the right-hand channel, he stands up a cross and Haaland is in space but can't for once generate enough power into his header. Wes Foderingham makes the save.

    A first chance to get on the ball for Benie Traore, the Sheffield United man has real pace but he still can't get past Ruben Dias who slides over to cut him off with ease. Apologies if I call Traore Bernie at some point today, it's just a typo I can see my brain making.

    Erling Haaland's first touch of the game is a loopy header that drifts over the top. It was a stretch even for the Norse totem.

    Ollie Watkins smashed in a hat-trick during the week but he's only scored one Premier League goal in his last nine games.

    And I was just writing how he will want to get on the scoresheet today to get his top-flight tally up and running for the campaign.

    It was made by the Villa striker, running clear and setting up an easy finish for Matty Cash.

    Kerching.

    Burnley cut open!

    John McGinn's neat pass finds Ollie Watkins with a lot of space to run into in the home half. James Trafford commits to meet him, giving Watkins one big option - a lofted cross for Matty Cash to charge on to and finish.

    Ruthless.

    Ah yes the famously unpredictable men's Grand Slams of the last 20 years Mark...

    Bernardo Silva chops inside a defender to open up some space inside the area but his low ball in is cut out. Erling Haaland hasn't touched the ball yet by the way.

    The Burnley fans are not happy. They think a few heavy Villa challenges in midfield have been ignored by the officials.
