Bournemouth vs Aston Villa predictions
Bournemouth head into their Matchday 36 Premier League clash against Aston Villa on the back of an impressive 2-1 victory over Arsenal on Saturday.
The win was the Cherries' first ever at the Emirates and also marked their first league double over the Gunners.
Remarkably, Bournemouth came from behind to secure the three points. Andoni Iraola's side trailed 1-0 at halftime, but second-half set-piece goals from Dean Huijsen and Evanilson turned the game on its head.
The result lifted Bournemouth to eighth in the table, with 53 points from 35 matches. They are now unbeaten in five Premier League games, recording two wins and three draws during that run.
The Cherries stand on the verge of qualifying for Europe for the first time in their history.
Aston Villa bounced back from their 2-1 defeat to Manchester City and FA Cup semi-final disappointment with a crucial 1-0 win over Fulham on Saturday.
The victory was Villa's sixth in their last seven Premier League matches and kept their Champions League hopes very much alive.
Youri Tielemans was the match-winner against the Cottagers. One of Villa's unsung heroes this season, the Belgian midfielder headed home after 12 minutes to secure the three points and extend the club's unbeaten home league run to 17 games.
Villa begin Matchday 36 in seventh place on 60 points. They remain firmly in the hunt for a top-five finish, sitting just one point behind Nottingham Forest and three behind Chelsea and Newcastle.
The battle to be in next season's Champions League looks set to go down to the wire.

Aston Villa to win or draw and over 1.5 match goals
Aston Villa simply can't afford to drop points if they are to finish in the top five and claim a place in next season's Champions League. The battle for places is just too tight.
We do think this match has a great chance of ending in a draw. Don't be put off backing it at 13/5. It was almost our tip.
But just in case Villa sneak a win, we are covering more options with this wager.
➡️
BBTS: Yes
Both teams have scored in the previous three encounters between the two.
The Cherries have also scored in ten of their previous eleven in all competitions, and in eight of their last nine Premier League matches. Bournemouth have only kept two clean sheets in both those sequences of fixtures.
Aston Villa have found the net in 18 of their previous 19 matches in all competitions. The only game they failed to score in was their 3-0 FA Cup semi-final defeat to Crystal Palace.
Villa have also scored in their last eleven in the Premier League. Unai Emery's team have kept four clean sheets in that Premier League run.
Both teams to score looks a solid bet in this fixture.
➡️
Youri Tielemans to score or assist
A lot of his hard work seems to go unnoticed, but not to Unai Emery, who fully understands just how important Youri Tielemans is to his team.
Tielemans scored the winner last week in the 1-0 victory over Fulham. The goal was his third in the Premier League to go with his seven assists.
Three of those seven assists have come recently. Along with his goal last Saturday, Tielemans has had a goal involvement in four of his last five Premier League matches for Villa.
Back him to continue his good form against the Cherries.

Inside a chaotic press conference: Holtz's silence over selecting convicted domestic abuser Gerson Rodrigues speaks volumes
When Ireland last faced Luxembourg in an international friendly, it wasn't just the Del Trotter-type sheepskin coat which made their manager stand out, but the battles he fought over the airwaves. Luc Holtz is the second longest-serving international manager in European football, so clearly a man with experience. Before Ireland last visited Luxembourg, he said that Stephen Kenny's team had somehow abandoned their principles and reverted to a 'British' style of play, while after the game – a 3-0 win for Ireland – he hit out at the 'unsporting behaviour of the staff of Ireland' at the final whistle.

Donegal sensation Mark English smashes another Irish record on the track
Mark English claimed his third outdoor track triumph of the season and became the first Irishman to break 1:44 for 800m at the FBK Games in Hengelo. English, 32, produced another scintillating finish to cross the line in first place ahead of France's Yanis Meziane and Australia's Peyton Craig after sitting off the early pace at the event in the Netherlands, thus franking his recent strong form. The Donegal star clocked a new national record time of 1:43.92, bettering his previous best of 1:44.34 set 10 days ago in Bydgoszcz - both events were part of the World Athletics Continental Tour Gold series. The Finn Valley athlete was also victorious in the Running Track Fest meet in LA last month. English trained at altitude after winning his fifth and latest European medal - in the indoors in Apeldoorn in March - and that work is paying off. 'It felt great,' said English of his latest success. 'I just wanted to run that race like a semi-final and I managed to do that. I stayed off the pace early and when I got to 600 I felt really good. 'I could see them fading and when I'm in good shape, I can always understand what the commentators are saying and I could hear him say there would be some tired legs in the home straight, it was nice to hear that. I thought I could catch them with about 80 metres left.' English is hoping this is only the start of a spectacular summer, with the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo to come in September. Earlier in the evening Orla Comerford (Raheny Shamrock AC) won the Para Athletics Women's 100m in a season's best time of 11.96 seconds (-1.2m/s), which is just 0.06 seconds off the Paralympic bronze medallist's personal best.
