Aston Villa will welcome AFC Bournemouth Villa Park for a one-on-one English Premier League contest. Kickoff is slated for 14:00 GMT.
Aston Villa looks set to qualify for the UEFA Champions League for the first time in their history. They are battling for fourth place, with Tottenham Hotspurs for fourth place and three points ahead of them, with Spurs having a game in hand.
The unexpected 2-0 win at the Emirates against Arsenal was a statement victory that shows how far Unai Emery’s men have come this season. The momentum gained by that victory will certainly fuel them to go for the win against Bournemouth.
However, Aston Villa’s UEFA Conference League quarter-final match against Lille may leave the players leggy with insufficient time to recover before Sunday’s contest.
An In-Form Bournemouth On A Giant-Killing Spree
Only four teams (Manchester City, Chelsea, Newcastle United, and Arsenal) are in better form than Bournemouth, who have only lost once in their last five games. Last time out, The Cherries drew against Manchester United, who needed a Bruno Fernandez penalty to salvage a draw. With Aston Villa in the top four, Bournemouth will be looking at another giant ready to receive the Manchester United treatment.
Bet hereBournemouth have the upper hand in their head-to-head contests against Aston Villa. They have won four of their last six encounters, with Aston Villa only winning once. The remaining match ended in a draw.
However, in the last two matches, Aston Villa won 3-0 in their meeting last season, while the pair drew 2-2 in their encounter in the first half of this season. With Villa a completely different team this season, they will be confident that they can continue this positive trend in results.
Aston Villa will miss the services of Douglas Luiz who is suspended for the match due to an accumulation of yellow cards. Unai Emery will miss six players due to injury: Jacob Ramsey, Alex Moreno, Kortney Hause, Emiliano Buendia, Boubacar Kamara, and Tyrone Mings.
Bournemouth will head to Villa Park without six players due to injury: Ryan Fredericks, Chris Mepham, Marcus Tavernier, Antoine Semenyo, Luis Sinisterra, and Justin Kluivert.
Both teams will score with Aston Villa scoring more to take all three points.
