Clark vows to seize chance

Ciaran Clark has vowed to take his Aston Villa chance alongside Jores Okore as boss Paul Lambert prepares to put his faith in the rookie partnership.

The defensive duo will start Villa’s basement battle at Burnley on Saturday after playing together for the first time against Southampton.

Ron Vlaar and Philippe Senderos are sidelined for a few weeks with calf injuries while Nathan Baker is out until the new year with a knee problem.
