The Cherries to clash with a side in contention for a UCL qualification spot

Aston Villa are coming back from a thrilling trip to France. They were in UEFA Europa Conference League action against LOSC Lille. Even though Unai Emery’s men lost 2-1 on the night, a 3-3 aggregate scoreline ensured penalties. The Villans are now in the semi-finals. In the Premier League, we saw them do the double over Arsenal as they won 2-0 last time out.

AFC Bournemouth also were involved in a mouth-watering PL action last game. They played as hosts to Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United. The Cherries went ahead on two occasions but had to settle for a 2-2 draw eventually. Andoni Iraola’s side have secured PL status and now will visit Villa Park to clash with a side contending for a UEFA Champions League group stage spot for next season.
