"Starting with the hosts, while Bournemouth might have shown some real issues on either side of opening the New Year, Bournemouth have certainly come roaring back in an eye-catching fashion. Last seen securing what was a deserved 2-0 victory away at Wolves, Andoni Iraola's side now have their sights firmly set on finding a route back into the top-half of the Premier League standings."
"Dealing with what has become a stacked injury list, Bournemouth will once again be without the likes of Tyler Adams, Marcus Tavernier, Justin Kluivert and Wales international David Brooks. Completing a blockbuster move to the Vitality during the January transfer window, Brazilian starlet Rayan should get some more minutes under his belt. Finding the net away at Wolves last weekend and notching an eighth Premier League strike of the season, Eli Junior Kroupi should keep his spot from the start."
Bournemouth have recovered strong form after early-season issues, earning 10 points from their previous four Premier League matches, including wins at Wolves and against Liverpool. Andoni Iraola's side have found a more clinical edge in the final third and aim to continue that momentum at the Vitality. The hosts face multiple injuries with Tyler Adams, Marcus Tavernier, Justin Kluivert and David Brooks absent, while new signing Rayan is expected to feature. Eli Junior Kroupi scored at Wolves and should start, and Djordje Petrovic will occupy goal. Aston Villa seek an immediate reaction following a 1-0 home defeat to Brentford and have collected just four points in recent matches.
