Bournemouth travel to Villa Park on Sunday, looking to get back to winning ways.
The Cherries’ impressive eight-match unbeaten run in the league was ended by Manchester City last weekend. Consequently, they now face another difficult away trip against a top-half rival.
However, Andoni Iraola’s side will be well-rested, as they have had a full week to prepare for this fixture. They have also enjoyed success at Villa Park in the past, winning on two of their first three visits. Unfortunately, they are winless in their last three trips there. Therefore, a disciplined performance will be needed.
Bournemouth team news
Andoni Iraola has received a massive boost ahead of this game. For the first time this season, he has a fully-fit squad to choose from. Specifically, key midfielder Tyler Adams and attacker Antoine Semenyo have both recovered from minor knocks. In addition, full-back Alex Jimenez is also available.
Adams, who has made the third-most interceptions in the league, is expected to partner Alex Scott in midfield. Meanwhile, full-back Adrien Truffert will provide an attacking threat, as he leads the team in overlapping runs this season.
