Bournemouth v Aston Villa

With the title being over, and Arsenal being all but confirmed to grasp one of the UEFA Champions League positions for the Premier League's top 5, we're switching it up to this game this weekend with both teams looking to snag themselves European football of some description.

Villa will be bidding to equal a club record in this game. Despite their recent exits from the Champions League and FA Cup, Unai Emery's side are still in the hunt for a top-five place in the Premier League table. The Villains are currently in 7th position, just two points behind the top 5 so no room for complacency. Villa will 31 wins in all competitions if they can overcome the Cherries, tying their record for wins in a season with the feat having being last posted during 1976-77.

With Newcastle likely to gain Champions League football through the league, and Manchester City favorites to win the FA Cup next week, 8th position in the league table will likely come with a spot in the UEFA Europa Conference League. Bournemouth are currently in 8th position! They're 7 points behind today's opponents, so getting any higher is unlikely, however, there is fierce competition behind them from Brentford, Brighton, and Fulham, all separated by just two points. Dropping points with just three games to go is not part of the plan.

This is only the 15th competitive contest between these two. Villa have won 6, 5 wins for Bournemouth, and the remaining 3 all-square.

We'll be meeting at The Pub from noon to see who takes the momentum into the final two games to seal their spot in Europe - Join Us!
