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 for the goal 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) is likely to miss the rest of the season, as are Ryan Christie (groin) and Enes Unal (knee).
On Aston Villa's side, striker Marcus Rashford, who is on loan from Man United, is likely to miss the rest of the season after suffering a thigh injury and flying to Dubai for treatment.
Rashford is certain to miss the trip to the Vitality Stadium, but otherwise Emery has a full squad, with key striker Ollie Watkins 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 against any other team in the competition.

Latest Bournemouth vs Aston Villa football prediction
Bournemouth have visited Arsenal eight times before the 2024-25 season, and have come away empty-handed on all eight occasions. However, the ninth time around has been a historic one for the south coast side as they claimed 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 fazed by Declan Rice's early strike. Dean Huijsen equalised with a header, before Evanilson completed the spectacular comeback with a surprising belly-to-belly finish.
Although the return leg was not as impressive as the end of 2024, Bournemouth are gradually regaining stability with a 5-match unbeaten streak and have the opportunity to control their destiny in the race for a ticket to the European Cup.
Bournemouth's current eighth position could be enough to secure a place in the Conference League, 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, with them scoring just once in each of their last six games at the Vitality Stadium - just enough to keep the visitors' hopes of Champions League qualification 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 they had in their previous 21 combined (six). 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.
