Bournemouth vs Aston Villa start time
Bournemouth and Aston Villa will kick off on February 7, 2026 at 15:00 GMT and 10:00 EST.
Match preview
Bournemouth are in good form and are unbeaten in their last four Premier League games with wins in each of the last two. The Cherries are 12th in the table, a win over Aston Villa could move them closer to the top half and fuel their fight for the European places.
However, Bournemouth will face a wounded Villa team as the Birmingham giants are coming off a frustrating home defeat to Brentford, their second defeat in recent league games, which leaves them third in the Premier League. A win at Bournemouth could take them into second place if Manchester City drop points against Liverpool on Sunday.
Injuries, key statistics
AFC Bournemouth have Marcus Tavernier, Ben Doak, Justin Kluivert, Tyler Adams, Julio Soler, Will Dennis and Matai Akinmboni on their injured list, with David Brooks also a doubt.
Meanwhile, Boubacar Kamara, Youri Tielemans, John McGinn and Andres Garcia are all on Villa’s injury list, while Ollie Watkins, Amadou Onana and Alysson are doubtful but likely to be available for the clash against the Cherries.
Villa are unbeaten in their last six matches against Bournemouth, having recorded four wins and two draws.
