The Villains welcome Andoni Iraola’s men to Villa Park after a long, difficult Europa Conference League match against Lille on Thursday. They will be feeling good after the win but face a tough task to recover from that and take on potentially tricky opponents. Indeed, the Cherries are something of a thorn in their side, having won four of the last seven league matches between these two teams.

While the hosts have everything still to play for, the visitors are guaranteed Premier League football next season and there is the possibility they won’t be quite at their best for these last few games. However, Dominic Solanke is in contention for the Golden Boot so will want to keep scoring. He will undoubtedly be a problem for a fatigued home defence.

The reverse fixture ended dramatically as Ollie Watkins netted an equaliser in time added on. This game is likely to be close as well, but it could see the hosts go six points clear of their North London rivals for Champions League football.

Here's how they line up:

Aston Villa: Martinez, Cash, Konsa, Torres, Digne, McGinn, Tielemans, Diaby, Rogers, Bailey, Watkins

Bournemouth: Neto, Smith, Zabarnyi, Senesi, Kerkez, Cook, Christie, Kelly, Ouattara, Kluivert, Solanke

Read on to find out how to watch the game wherever you are. Also, make sure you don’t miss any of the EPL action by checking out how to watch Premier League live streams.

How to watch Aston Villa vs Bournemouth from anywhere

Aston Villa vs Bournemouth live streams will be shown on many different channels across the world, but what if you're not in your home country and want to watch it on your usual service?

You can still watch Aston Villa vs Bournemouth live thanks to the wonders of a VPN (Virtual Private Network). The software allows your devices to appear to be back in your home country regardless of where in the world you are, making it ideal for soccer fans away on vacation or on business. Our favorite is NordVPN.

Using a VPN is incredibly simple.

1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, NordVPN is our favorite.

2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance, if you're in the U.K. and want to view a U.S. service, you'd select U.S. from the list.

3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to Peacock or another service and watch the game.

Unfortunately, there will be no Aston Villa vs Bournemouth live stream in the U.K. That's because the match has not been picked to be shown on TV.

As it stands, live Premier League rights are split three ways in the U.K. between Sky Sports, TNT Sports and Amazon Prime Video.

For the 23/24 season, Sky Sports is set to show 128 matches live, while TNT Sports will show 52 matches live, including every Saturday lunchtime kick-off. Amazon Prime Video previously broadcast 20 matches earlier in the season.
