Bournemouth have had a solid season under the popular Andoni Iraola. The club sit eighth on 53 points after 14 wins from 35 league matches. Victory on Saturday would put them just three points behind Aston Villa.

Unai Emery’s Villa are pushing for a UEFA Champions League place. The top five will enter UEFA’s premier club competition next season, and the Midlands club are just three points behind in seventh. Villa have won 17, drawn nine, and lost nine of their 35 Premier League fixtures.

Bournemouth have recovered from a slump in form, winning two and drawing three of their past five in the league. Last weekend, Iraola’s troops won 2-1 against Arsenal, with Dean Huijsen and Evanilson getting the goals at the Emirates Stadium.

After five Premier League victories on the trot, Aston Villa lost 2-1 at Manchester City in their last away game. However, they bounced back with a hard-fought home victory over Fulham last weekend, with in-form Youri Tielemans netting the only goal.
