Match Facts
Aston Villa have either kept a clean sheet (twice) or conceded exactly twice (five times) in their seven Premier League meetings with Bournemouth (W2 D1 L4).
Bournemouth have won four of their seven Premier League meetings with Aston Villa (D1 L2); of sides they’ve faced at least five times in the competition, only against Swansea (67%) do they have a higher win rate than they do against the Villans (57%).
Aston Villa have recorded 63 points so far in the Premier League this season, already surpassing their final points tally in each of their last 10 top-flight campaigns; only in 1992-93 (74 in 42 games) and 2009-10 (64) have the Villans won more points by the end of the season.
Since November 11th, only the Premier League’s top four teams have won more points than Bournemouth (36 – W10 D6 L5). After losing 6-1 to Man City on November 4th, only the current bottom three teams had fewer points than the Cherries (6 – W1 D3 L7).
Aston Villa have 19 Premier League wins this season, only winning 20+ in one previous season in the competition (21 in 1992-93). In a 38-game top-flight season, Villa last won 20 games back in 1989-90 under Graham Taylor (21), finishing 2nd.
As of the start of this match, Aston Villa will have spent 132 nights in the top-four of the Premier League this season, their most in a campaign since 1998-99 (190).
Aston Villa’s Leon Bailey has had a hand in seven goals as a substitute in the Premier League this season (3 goals, 4 assists). In Premier League history, only two players have more goals and assists as a sub in a season – Adam Le Fondre in 2012-13 (8 goals, 1 assist) and Christian Benteke in 2015-16 (6 goals, 2 assists).
Dominic Solanke has netted 17 Premier League goals this season, the most ever by a Bournemouth player in a single top-flight campaign. His eight away goals are also the most by a player since Callum Wilson in 2018-19 (nine).
Ollie Watkins has scored 19 Premier League goals and assisted 10 times for Aston Villa this season. A goal in this match will see him become just the third English player to score 20+ goals and assist 10+ goals in a 38-game season, along with Frank Lampard in 2009-10 (22 goals, 14 assists) and Harry Kane in 2020-21 (23 goals, 14 assists).
Ollie Watkins’ tally of 19 Premier League goals this season is the joint most by an Aston Villa player in a single campaign, along with Christian Benteke in 2012-13. The last Villa player to score 20 goals in a top-flight season was Peter Withe in 1980-81 (20), a campaign in which they won the title.
