Aston Villa will host Bournemouth in a crucial Premier League match at Villa Park on November 9, 2025. Kick-off is scheduled for 14:00 GMT / 09:00 ET. Both teams are eager to secure points after recent defeats, making this encounter pivotal for their league aspirations.
Aston Villa’s recent momentum faced a setback last week when they lost 2-0 to Liverpool, ending a run of four consecutive league victories. The match at Anfield saw Villa strike the post twice, but defensive errors cost them dearly. Manager Unai Emery will be looking for his players to rectify these mistakes against Bournemouth, aiming to extend their unbeaten streak against the Cherries to six matches.
Bournemouth also seeks to bounce back after a loss to Manchester City. Coach Andoni Iraola will be keen to return to winning ways, especially as his team has not suffered back-to-back defeats in the league since May. Currently sitting fifth in the table, Bournemouth is determined to break into the top four with a strong performance at Villa Park.

Match Preview and Team News
Aston Villa has shown resilience this season, mirroring their successful run last year when they finished sixth in the league. Despite the setback against Liverpool, they delivered an impressive performance in a 1-0 victory over Manchester City two weeks ago. Goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez will aim to avoid further errors as he seeks to regain his form.
The Villa defense, which struggled against Liverpool, must tighten up to withstand Bournemouth’s attacking threats. Striker Ollie Watkins, who has only one goal in his last ten league appearances, will be crucial to Villa’s chances of success.
Bournemouth, despite a challenging summer that saw the departure of several key players, has made a strong start to the season. Their forward Antoine Semenyo has been a standout performer, while Eli Junior Kroupi, only 19, scored in three consecutive matches prior to facing City. The team exhibits strong unity and talent, giving Iraola confidence ahead of the match.
Looking ahead, predictions suggest a closely contested match, with FourFourTwo forecasting a 1-1 draw. Both teams will be eager to secure points, making this encounter one to watch in the Premier League calendar.
