The Cherries endured a brutal two months but appear to have things in order since January 7 with three wins and a draw in their last four Premier League games, including wins over Spurs and Liverpool to propel them to 33 points and 12th in the table.

Villa lost just three times in the first 18 weeks of the season, but equaled that tally in their last six PL games. Emery’s men are 2W-1D-3L since December 30, and the Villans have lost at home to Brentford and Everton. They have dropped seven points from the top of the table and are as close to sixth as the battle between the top four (or five) feels more tense each week.

Bournemouth-Aston Villa prediction
Both teams are missing several pieces in their midfield, and this will likely be a closer matchup than many anticipated. Iraola could well put an end to Villa’s title dreams, assuming the other top teams turn up this weekend. Bournemouth 1-0 Aston Villa.
