Aston Villa host high-flying Bournemouth this afternoon, knowing that a victory would pull them level with the Cherries on 19 points.
Both sides saw their recent undefeated Premier League runs end last weekend, with Villa losing 2-0 to a much-improved Liverpool side before getting back to winning ways in Europe midweek.
Unai Emery’s men swept past Israeli side Maccabi Tel Aviv in the Europa League amid a politically charged atmosphere at Villa Park, and will be hoping that result has set them up to get back on track domestically too.
Meanwhile Andoni Iraola’s Bournemouth fell 3-1 to Manchester City last time out in their first defeat since their opening-day loss to Liverpool.
Emery has picked Emi Buendia to replace Evann Guessand in the only change since the defeat to Liverpool last time out. Adam Smith, Velijko Milosavljevic and Justin Kluivert come into the Bournemouth line-up.
Here’s everything you need to know.
