Team News

Bournemouth
Aston Villa
  • Andoni Iraola will continue to do without summer signing Tyler Adams in midfield, while Alex Scott is also ruled out here.
  • Defender Lloyd Kelly sustained a thigh injury against Sheffield United last weekend, and will have to be assessed if he is to play a part here.
  • Tyrone Mings, Emiliano Buendia and Bertrand Traore are confirmed absentees for Villa.
  • Boubacar Kamara received his fifth yellow card of the campaign against Tottenham last weekend, and will have to sit this one out.
  • Ollie Watkins missed Thursday's Europa League clash with Legia Warsaw, but should be cleared to start here.

Prediction

  • Bournemouth have now won back-to-back Premier League matches for the first time this season, and will head into this one full of confidence.
  • The Cherries' upturn in form has seen them move up and out of the relegation zone. They now sit seven points clear of danger.
  • Aston Villa made it four consecutive victories when they overcame Polish outfit Legia Warsaw in the Europa League on Thursday.
  • Unai Emery's side came from behind to claim all three points at Tottenham last weekend, a result that saw the Villans move into the Premier League's top four.
  • Bournemouth are likely to make this a competitive affair, but the visitors should leave with maximum points here.
