Aston Villa must put in a vastly improved performance against Bournemouth if they want to preserve their place in the Premier League’s top three.
Unai Emery’s side have dropped six precious points at Villa Park in their last two home league games, losing by a solitary goal against both Everton and Brentford. The blips have coincided with an upturn in results for Manchester United and Chelsea, both of whom have won their last three matches and sit fourth and fifth in the table.
