🗞️ Team News: Bournemouth

The Bournemouth boss Scott Parker has zero fitness concerns at all ahead of this clash with a fully injury-free group available to choose from.

In all likelihood, The Cherries should opt for a 3-4-3 system with Mark Travers, James Hill, Chris Mepham, Lloyd Kelly, Adam Smith, Jefferson Lerma, Lewis Cook, Jordan Zemura, Ryan Christie, Dominic Solanke and Jaidon Anthony.

📋 Team News: Aston Villa

In an otherwise full-strength group, there’s just a single fitness problem for the Aston Villa manager Steven Gerrard to be concerned with. Jed Steer (Achilles tendon problems) won’t be in action.

There’s a good chance that The Villans might play in a 4-3-2-1 formation with a starting lineup of Emiliano Martinez, Matty Cash, Ezri Konsa, Diego Carlos, Lucas Digne, John McGinn, Boubacar Kamara, Douglas Luiz, Leon Bailey, Philippe Coutinho and Ollie Watkins.
