Villa finally on a roll but Burnley's a must-win says boss

- JOHN TOWNLEY

UNAI EMERY has urged his players and Aston Villa supporters not to relax after three consecutive victories ahead of hosting Burnley today.

After enduring a winless run of six matches, Villa secured their first victory of the season against Bologna in the Europa League last week before following it up with a 3-1 win over Fulham at Villa Park last Sunday.

And a return to De Kuip - the stadium where Villa lifted the European Cup 43 years ago - was marked with a 2-0 triumph over Eredivisie leaders Feyenoord.

However, Emery (left) has warned his players against complacency, particularly with the second international break of the season looming afterwards.

“The Premier League is so, so important for every team,” he said. “This year, just this year, we have another two teams like Sunderland and Leeds, historically always in the Premier League.
