Aston Villa return to Premier League action today when they take on Bournemouth.

Villa host the Cherries at Villa Park as they look to move a step closer to securing Champions League football. Midweek saw Villa clinch a spot in the Europa Conference League semi-final with victory over Lille.

Unai Emery's team will be in a confident mood going into the game against Bournemouth. Villa beat Arsenal away at the Emirates Stadium in their previous Premier League fixture and are currently three points above fifth-placed Tottenham Hotspur having played one game more.

Villa will be determined to get the three points in their quest to secure a top-four finish this season. Villa have just five more Premier League fixtures remaining this term, with Chelsea, Brighton, Liverpool and Crystal Palace also left to play before the end of the campaign.
