Aston Villa, Recent FormAston Villa manager Unai Emery will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 1-1 draw in his team's last league outing against West Ham United. During that encounter they had 59% possession and had 12 attempts on goal with 4 on target, while their opponents hit 6 of their 17 shots on goal.
Emery will be closely scrutinising his squad's defensive frailties, his back line having shipped 12 goals in their last 6 matches, despite having picked up some points through the 9 goals they've managed to net. They are consistently finding a way through on goal, scoring in each of their last 13 games. The defensive quality of his current squad will be troubling Emery of late, his defence having only notched up 1 clean sheet from their last 6 home games.
Having lost 3 of their last 6 matches and recorded only 2 victories, this has to be seen as a poor run of results.
Goalscorer Ollie Watkins will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 5 goals in his last 6 league matches for Aston Villa.
Bournemouth, Recent FormThis Bournemouth side will be full of confidence going into this match against Aston Villa, having recorded a 1-0 home win against Liverpool in their last league match. They came away from that fixture with a 31% share of the possession and clocked up 5 attempts on goal with 2 on target, in comparison to Liverpool, who managed 15 attempts on goal, 6 of which were on target.
It's fair to say that manager Gary O'Neil will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 6 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 9 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. When it comes to attacking performances, they can consider themselves in a good and consistent form, having chalked up goals in 5 of their last 6 matches. They don't have an enviable away record at the moment, having conceded at least one goal in 12 of their last 13 league matches way from home, making valuable points hard to acquire on the road.
They've had a dismal run of form on their travels recently, losing all but 1 of their last 6 away games, a solitary win providing little consolation.
Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for Bournemouth, Marcus Tavernier will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
The last time these sides were pitched against each other in the league, it ended in a 2-0 win for Bournemouth.
In each of the previous 4 matches against The Cherries, Aston Villa have let in at least one goal.
Aston Villa will be determined to get something from this game having lost the last 4 times they've faced Bournemouth in the league.
Aston Villa manager Unai Emery has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Diego Carlos (Achilles tendon), Philippe Coutinho (Hamstring), Leander Dendoncker (Unknown), Boubacar Kamara (Knee) and Jed Steer (Achilles tendon) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Gary O'Neil has a number of injury concerns in his Bournemouth squad to contend with: Junior Stanislas (Muscle), Marcus Tavernier (Muscle), Hamed Traorè (Muscle) and Illya Zabarnyi (Ankle)
