Latest Bournemouth vs Aston Villa team information
The only blemish on Bournemouth's historic win at the Emirates was Dango Ouattara's groin injury in the second half. Iraola will provide an update on his condition at his pre-match press conference.
However, the home side had a quality replacement in Antoine Semenyo, who came off the bench to set up Huijsen with a perfectly placed long throw-in. His compatriot Thomas Partey had tried to replicate this trick when Arsenal played PSG but failed.
Luis Sinisterra (thigh injury) is likely to be out for the rest of the season, as are Ryan Christie (groin) and Enes Unal (knee).
As for Aston Villa, striker Marcus Rashford, who is on loan from Man United, will likely also be out for the rest of the season after suffering a thigh injury and flying to Dubai for treatment.
Rashford is definitely absent for the trip to Vitality Stadium, but otherwise, Emery has a full squad. Main striker Ollie Watkins is maintaining his impressive assist form.
Watkins has only scored once in Premier League appearances against Bournemouth, but has provided four assists against them – more than any other team in the competition.

Latest football commentary on Bournemouth vs Aston Villa
Bournemouth have visited Arsenal eight times before the 2024-25 season, and all eight have ended empty-handed. However, the ninth time has been historic for the south coast side as they secured their first ever away win against the Gunners.
Taking advantage of Arsenal's instability after the opening goal, coach Andoni Iraola's team were not shaken by Declan Rice's early goal. Dean Huijsen equalized with a header, before Evanilson completed the spectacular comeback with a surprising belly shot.
Although the return leg was not as impressive as the end of 2024, Bournemouth is gradually regaining stability with a 5-match unbeaten streak and has the opportunity to control its destiny in the race for a ticket to the European Cup.
Bournemouth's current eighth place could be enough to secure a Conference League place, depending on cup results, but a win on Saturday would see them officially out of the top seven, as they are currently seven points behind Aston Villa.
Bournemouth's consistency at home has also been a notable point, as they have scored just one goal in each of their last six games at Vitality Stadium – just enough to keep the visitors' hopes of qualifying for the Champions League alive last week.
After disappointing trips to the Etihad and Wembley – where their FA Cup dreams were dashed – Aston Villa found joy again at Villa Park when they hosted Fulham last weekend.
Unai Emery's side made amends for their semi-final defeat to Crystal Palace with a narrow win in the early kick-off, with Youri Tielemans heading home from John McGinn's corner – a rare feat for a player used to playing the role of playmaker.
Villa are now just a point behind Nottingham Forest and are closing in on Chelsea and Newcastle in the top-five race as the season enters its dramatic final stages.
They have won seven of their last nine Premier League games – more than their previous 21 combined (six wins). Their run of 11 consecutive top-flight games scoring has also shown their attacking consistency since February 1.
The head-to-head record is also on Villa’s side. After losing four straight games to Bournemouth between April 2016 and August 2022, they are unbeaten in their last four, only being held to a 96th-minute draw by Evanilson in the 1-1 first leg in October.
