Bournemouth Vs Aston Villa Preview
Last Thursday, Bournemouth beat AC Milan 3-0 in the Europa League and followed up that historic win by walloping Man United by the same scoreline on the weekend. Marco Rose’s side are really beginning to click. And that is without midfield maestro Alex Scott and young hotshot Eli Junior Kroupi in their ranks. The Cherries beat Lincoln 4-0 in the previous round.
Not only are the South Coast side getting into their stride, Aston Villa are also slaying all of those before them. Unai Emery has overseen four straight wins which includes Saturday’s 2-1 win against Man City. In the third round, the Lions beat Coventry 3-1.

Bournemouth Vs Aston Villa Prediction
As is customary in the EFL Cup, expect squad rotation but it’s highly unlikely to take the gloss off what promises to be an end-to-end battle between two sides in red-hot form. Villa are likely to utilise more first-teamers and that should be enough to see them progress to the quarter-final.
