Impact Summary

Burnley’s absences mainly affect their defensive structure and midfield balance rather than headline attacking output, which is significant for a team with only 35 league goals. Aston Villa’s main attacking threats remain available: top scorer O. Watkins (11 goals, 2 assists) and key creator M. Rogers (9 goals, 5 assists) are both fit, preserving the core of a 48-goal attack despite Kamara’s loss in midfield.
