Aston Villa face Bournemouth this weekend as Dean Smith’s side face their first test at home on their Premier League return.
Villa will be looking to recover from their opening day defeat to Spurs, and pick up their first points of the season.
Bournemouth, meanwhile, will be looking to secure their first win of the season after drawing with Sheffield United last time out.
This is only Villa’s seventh meeting with Bournemouth, with Villa last losing to the Cherries in April 2016, after beating them 1-0 on the opening day of the season.
The Cherries have been very consistent since gaining promotion from the Championship, and have kept quite a solid core together.
They have lots of threats, including several key man and a few dangermen who could cause Villa a lot of problems.
Here, we’ll take a look at just a few of the Bournemouth players who could make a big impact this weekend.
