This is an Aston Villa predicted lineup for their Premier League clash with Bournemouth in the late Saturday kick-off. This is a pretty important match for the Villans as they could jump into a tie for fifth place if they win. With Chelsea playing Newcastle on Sunday, this could end up closing the gap to Champions League football for Unai Emery’s side.
Aston Villa Predicted Lineup vs Bournemouth in Premier League Tie
How Aston Villa Have Lined Up Recently
Emi Martinez is the first-choice goalkeeper. In defence, Ezri Konsa, Tyrone Mings, and Pau Torres are the main options as the central pairing. Lucas Digne and Ian Maatsen share left-back duties with Matty Cash having the right side of the flank on lock.
Boubacar Kamara, Amadou Onana, and Youri Tielemans can play in the defensive midfield spots. Up front, Marco Asensio, Morgan Rogers, John McGinn, Jacob Ramsay, and Donyell Malen are the main options. Ollie Watkins is usually the striker.
Aston Villa Recent Form & Tactics
Emery continues to use a 4-2-3-1 setup and hasn’t changed tactics recently. For a while, he was playing a more defensive midfielder or natural central midfielder in the number ten role but he’s gone back to using a more natural attacker in that spot recently. Otherwise, there are no real tactical flexes that we see from the coach.

After a poor run earlier in the campaign, the Villans are red-hot despite being knocked out of the FA Cup and Champions League. They’ve only lost once in the league since March 1, which came to the also red-hot Manchester City. Goals have slightly dried up in recent weeks which could prove costly for their European aspirations.
Aston Villa Injuries to Consider
According to PremierInjuries, Tielemans and Rashford are the only players sidelined according to the most recent updates.
