Evanilson has enjoyed a superb debut season in the Premier League for Bournemouth. He’s scored 10 goals across his 28 appearances in the top flight which is a commendable record considering that none of these goals have come from the penalty spot. Only Justin Kluivert (12) has scored more goals for Bournemouth in the Premier League this term.

Evanilson has taken 30 shots on target across his 28 Premier League appearances (1.30 per 90). He scored in the initial meeting between the sides, coming off the bench to register one of his first goals for the Cherries, and he has developed steadily since then. 

Bournemouth are averaging 5.4 shots on target per game in the Premier League this season, only Man City, Chelsea and Liverpool are finding the target with more frequency.

Rogers has won 48 fouls across his 34 Premier League appearances this season (1.51 per 90). This is a record that reflects Rogers’ ability to drive through central areas, a trait which is evident in his successful dribbles numbers this season (2.04 per 90).

He’ll be lining up against an incredibly aggressive Bournemouth side who are committing 13.5 fouls per game in the Premier League, more than any other side in the division, and committed 14 fouls in the initial meeting at Villa Park.

Rogers wasn’t fouled on that occasion, but his replacement in Duran was hauled down on two occasions, rendering this selection a winner with Paddy Power's Super Sub. Even though Duran isn’t with the Aston Villa squad anymore, Unai Emery has a range of attacking to call on from the bench who can win a foul if Rogers isn’t brought down during his time on the pitch.

Mark Travers was in goal for the initial meeting between these sides at Villa Park. He was forced into making seven saves which suggests that the Bournemouth goal could be under siege at times, especially when considering that Aston Villa need to win here to keep their top five hopes alive.

Kepa has taken over the mantle as Bournemouth’s number one keeper and has had quite a solid campaign after some difficult seasons at Chelsea. He’s having to make 3.32 saves per 90 in the Premier League this campaign which indicates that while Bournemouth are certainly a threat in the final third, their approach can leave gaps at the back.

This should be quite a competitive game, both sides are looking to cement a spot in Europe next season and therefore need points. There is only one place between them in the league table and Bournemouth could cut the gap to Villa to just four points with a victory.

BTTS landed in the initial meeting between these sides at Villa Park, Unai Emery’s side have only managed to keep one clean sheet across their last five games in all competitions, seeing BTTS in three of these encounters. Bournemouth haven’t fared much better defensively, only keeping two clean sheets across their last five games and seeing BTTS in each of the other three fixtures. 

This pick has landed in the last three head-to-head meetings between the sides and Bournemouth, in particular, will feel they have a real chance here of qualifying for Europe for the very first time - eight of Aston Villa’s nine losses in the Premier League this season have come on the road. 

Ollie Watkins is still Aston Villa’s biggest goal threat, he’s scored 15 goals in the Premier League for Unai Emery’s side this campaign, making him their top scorer, seven clear of Morgan Rogers in second (8).

His last goal came against Newcastle on the 19th April so he has been a little quiet in recent weeks, but he should get opportunities here due to Bournemouth’s open and aggressive style of play, as well as Aston Villa needing a positive result in their hunt for a spot in the Champions League.

Watkins scored and assisted in this fixture last season which ended in a 2-2 draw, so he should have some good memories of the Vitality Stadium. Watkins had three shots with two of these finding the target in the initial meeting between the sides which indicates that he should get decent service here.

Semenyo typifies Andoni Iraola’s style of play. His physicality in the final third feeds in directly to Bournemouth’s aggressive pressing structure, but this also puts him at risk of picking up bookings - especially against a side like Villa who have won more fouls than any other side in the Premier League this season. 

Semenyo has committed 66 fouls across his 34 Premier League appearances this season (2.02 per 90). He committed three fouls and was shown a yellow card in the initial meeting between the sides, Bournemouth committed 14 fouls in the game overall. 

Semenyo has received nine yellow cards in the Premier League this season, no Bournemouth player has received more cautions than the 25-year-old in the top flight.

Bournemouth are averaging 13.5 fouls committed per game in the Premier League this season - more than any other side in the division. This is a direct result of how they play as opposed to frustration leaking through. Bournemouth have ranked in the top three for fouls committed per game all season which shows that they have a consistency to how they approach games. 

They committed 14 fouls in the initial meeting between the sides at Villa Park and have committed 10+ fouls in each of their last five Premier League games with this total rising to 11+ fouls committed in four of these games.
