Bournemouth and Aston Villa, two teams battling for a place in the European Cup, clash at the Vitality Stadium in the 36th round of the Premier League. The match will start at 17:30 on Saturday, May 10, 2025.
Teams Performance
Bournemouth: The team, nicknamed “Cherries”, are currently in 8th place in the Premier League and are unbeaten in five matches. Their latest feat was a 2-1 win at home to Arsenal, which is historic as it was their first win at the Emirates Stadium. Goals from Evanilson and Dean Huijsen turned the match around after Declan Rice had given Arsenal the lead.
Aston Villa: Unai Emery's team is in 7th place, just three points behind fifth place. They have won seven of their last nine league matches, most recently defeating Fulham 1-0, with a header from Youri Tielemans. However, their away form has been inconsistent, losing their last two away games to Manchester City and Crystal Palace.
Important Missing Items
Bournemouth: Dango Ouattara is unavailable for the rest of the season due to a groin injury. In addition, Ryan Christie, Enes Ünal and Luis Sinisterra are also struggling with injuries. Ouattara is expected to be replaced in the starting lineup by Antoine Semenyo.
Aston Villa: Youri Tielemans will miss the match with a muscle injury, and Marcus Rashford is also still injured. Tielemans will likely be replaced in midfield by Amadou Onana.

Bournemouth: Andoni Iraola's team is expected to play in a 4-2-3-1 formation. In defense, Kepa Arrizabalaga will be in goal, with Milos Kerkez, Dean Huijsen, Illia Zabarnyi and Adam Smith forming the defense in front of him. In midfield, Lewis Cook and Tyler Adams provide stability, while in the attacking trio, Marcus Tavernier, Justin Kluivert and Antoine Semenyo support Evanilson, who plays in a wedge role.
Aston Villa: Unai Emery also uses the 4-2-3-1 formation. In defense, Emiliano Martínez is in goal, with Matty Cash, Ezri Konsa, Pau Torres and Lucas Digne forming the back four. Boubacar Kamara and Amadou Onana provide balance in midfield, while John McGinn, Morgan Rogers and Jacob Ramsey support Ollie Watkins in the wedge role in the attacking trio.
