Aston Villa v Burnley live stream, Thursday 19 May, 8pm BST
Burnley will climb out of the Premier League relegation zone if they avoid defeat by Aston Villa on Thursday.
A 1-0 defeat by Tottenham on Sunday means that Burnley's fate will not be decided until the final day of the season. Mike Jackson's men currently sit 18th after back-to-back defeats by Villa and Spurs, but they are just one point behind Leeds and have a game in hand on Jesse Marsch's side. The Clarets also have a superior goal difference which could work in their favour.
This is Villa's final home game of the season and Steven Gerrard's side will want to go out on a high at Villa Park. They are still in contention for a top-half finish, although Villa will realistically have to beat both Burnley and title-chasing Manchester City to stand a chance of ending the season in the top 10.
Villa will be unable to call upon the services of centre-back duo Kortney Hause and Ezri Konsa, so Calum Chambers is likely to partner Tyrone Mings in the heart of the home team's defence.
Leon Bailey has an outside chance of being involved, but the Jamaica international will be on the bench at best. Jacob Ramsey could be handed his first start of the month after appearing as a substitute in the 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace last time out.
Burnley will have to make do without Ben Mee, who is unlikely to play again this season. James Tarkowski could be available, though, while Dale Stephens and Erik Pieters are fighting to be fit in time for the run-in.
Jay Rodriguez will need to be assessed by the club's medical team in the run-up to kick-off, but Johann Berg Gudmundsson, Matej Vydra and Ashley Westwood are definitely out. Jackson will probably revert to a back four after shifting to a three-man defence for the loss to Tottenham.
Kick-off is at 8pm BST on Thursday 19 May, and UK viewers can watch the game live on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League. See below for international broadcast options.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Premier league football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a round of Premier League fixtures, then annoyingly your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!). You'll be blocked from watching it, which is not ideal if you’ve paid up for a subscription and still want to catch the action without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
But assistance is on hand. To get around that, all you have to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. All the info going between is entirely encrypted – and that's a result.
