They firstly drew 1-1 with Sheffield United, who became the first club to leave Villa Park with a point in the league this season, before they relinquished a 2-0 advantage to lose 3-2 to Manchester United on Boxing Day.
That was a suckerpunch defeat but neither of those games were disasters – against the Blades, Villa actually rescued a point thanks to Nicolo Zaniolo’s 97th-minute equaliser.
And it should not take much for Villa to pick themselves up and dust themselves down for the visit of struggling Burnley.
Vincent Kompany’s side stormed to the Championship title last season but have looked feeble in the top flight, picking up only 11 points from 19 matches.
Only Sheffield United are below them in the standings and they face an uphill battle to stave off relegation this season.
