Aston Villa will be looking to start their campaign at home off in the best fashion when they take on AFC Bournemouth at Villa Park.
Dean Smith will look to get off to a winning start in his first Premier League home game with Villa against a strong side in the Cherries.
Villa will be looking to avenge the defeat to Spurs on the opening day, and carry on the good performance that they put in during the first half.
Bournemouth, meanwhile, will be looking to pick up their first win of the season after drawing 1-1 with Sheffield United on the opening day of the season.
The Cherries have been established as a Premier League side for a number of years now, and Villa will be looking to emulate them.
However, how many Bournemouth players would get into Villa’s team?
Here, we’ll look to make a combined XI of both sides ahead of the clash this weekend.
GK - Tom Heaton
Heaton has become an established Premier League shot-stopper since entering the league with Burnley, earning him multiple England call-ups in the process.
CB - Nathan Ake
Since leaving Chelsea, Ake has been a key man for Bournemouth at the heart of the Cherries defence.
The Dutchman was the subject of interest from many clubs over the summer, but chose to stay on the South Coast.
CB: Tyrone Mings
Mings has been in top form since moving to Villa, and he again showed his abilities against Spurs.
He will be looking to make an impact against his old side this weekend.
CB: Steve Cook
Cook has been brilliant since gaining promotion with Bournemouth to the top flight, and has been a reliable fixture in the Cherries side.
LM: Trezeguet
The Egyptian put in a great shift in the opening day defeat and showed why Villa brought them in.
CM: John McGinn
McGinn has become one of the stars of the show for Villa since joining from Hibernian and started his season off in the best possible way with a goal against Spurs.
CM: Jefferson Lerma
Lerma, Bournemouth’s record signing, had a solid debut season in the Premier League and will look to continue to develop this season.
RM: Ryan Fraser
Fraser had a fantastic season last time out with Bournemouth, scoring a lot of goals and assisting over 14 times.
AM: Jack Grealish
Grealish has been THE man for Villa recently, and was a huge factor in Dean Smith’s turnaround after an abject start last season.
AM: David Brooks
Brooks looks to be a bargain signing from the Cherries, after a superb first season with the side.
He will be unavailable for the first half of the season however, after suffering an injury in pre-season.
ST: Callum Wilson
The former Coventry striker has become a hgue force for the Cherries in the top flight, earning himself multiple England caps in the process.
