Aston Villa have dragged themselves back into the Premier League conversation after wobbling out of the blocks, and now a real test awaits as they host a sharp and confident Bournemouth side at Villa Park on Sunday.
Unai Emery's men made light work of Maccabi Tel Aviv in Europa League play, and that early-season five-match league drought is starting to look more like a blip than a true reflection of this squad, even if the loss to Liverpool last time out was a reality check.
But Bournemouth are not the type of side you want looming over your shoulder. Andoni Iraola's Cherries have only tasted defeat twice this season, away to Liverpool on the opening weekend and at Manchester City in Week 10. They currently sit fourth with 18 points, just three ahead of Villa, meaning this one has the potential to flip the table narrative entirely.
However, there is a catch: Bournemouth have struggled once they leave the Vitality. They haven’t won a Premier League match away from home since Week 3 at Spurs, and a heavy loss here could send them sliding.

Team news & squads
Aston Villa team news
For Villa, the injury misfortune continues to hound Tyrone Mings, who suffered a serious hamstring blow at Anfield and is now expected to be sidelined until 2026, a gut punch for both club and player. Andres Garcia also remains unavailable, though the timeline for his return is shorter. Aside from those two, Emery has the luxury of a clean bill of health.
That freedom means the likes of Lucas Digne, Matty Cash, Boubacar Kamara, and captain John McGinn, fresh off signing a new contract, should all return to the lineup after being rested midweek. Youri Tielemans is fit again following a calf issue, but he may be eased back in rather than thrust straight into the XI.
Bournemouth team news
Bournemouth, meanwhile, travel with a nearly spotless squad report. Tyler Adams shook off a late knee worry from the City match and is cleared to play. Antoine Semenyo and Alex Jimenez are also available, giving Iraola a full deck to deal from, including England's latest squad inclusion, Alex Scott.
The 21-year-old midfielder is earning deserved attention, and he’s expected to line up again alongside Adams, who continues to be one of the most influential midfield disruptors in the division.
