🆘 The curious case of Attwell, it's not that he makes decisions against Villa - other teams seem to fare far worse - it's his complete inability to run a game with any sense, over-reaction and under-reaction in equal measure, interminable delays to decisions, he's just a very, very bad referee that consistently leaves all sides frustrated.

TEAM NEWS

TEAM STATS

With Boubacar Kamara still suspended it's more concerns as Matty Cash is ruled out for a return through illness, Lucas Digne is the latest injury casualty and Pau Torres still isn't right following his injury, Clément Lenglet keeps his place but the bench features just eight players, to of whom are youth team goalkeepers. It really is a miracle are achieving such heights with such sparse resource.

MATCH QUOTES

”I just tried to score. It is hard because at that moment the result is 2-2. "The last three games we don't play so well. It is halfway through the season, the players are tired, we lost three or four players to injury. It is difficult but we need to keep going." "We are in the big club, we deserve it. We work every day so hard. We are so happy to stay in first position. Everyone is so happy, we need to enjoy the moment." Douglas Luiz. "It was very important after our last two matches without points like we want. "It was very important to be here with our supporters. We did very good work, we struggled in some moments. I respect Burnley a lot because they are doing a lot of good work. "The goals, VAR and the red card in the second half. They were close to getting something and we had to push until the last minute but we carried on doing our idea and in the end we got the penalty. Winning in the last moment with some emotion, sometimes it is important. "It is very difficult, we are very happy we are being competitive and at home we feel very strong with our support. Every match is difficult, the Premier League is the most difficult league in the world. "We have to understand the realities we have with players. We can work hard to achieve our dreams and objectives. "When I arrived here the message was to get better, get better and play in Europe, being a contender for the top seven. We are not contenders for the top seven or the top four in the Premier League because there are other teams before us. [But] maybe we have an opportunity to get it. "I am trying to be optimistic, but after the draw with Sheffield, less. After the loss at Manchester United, less. Today we won, so I have more [optimism]. I am trying to face each match we are playing and now after some rest we will focus on the match in Middlesborough and the match in Everton. "Of course, the next match we play at home is Newcastle. I have my focus and my plan in my mind. My plan is to go to Everton and try to get to 45 points.” Unai Emery.
