The teams
Preamble
This week we’ve seen the joy† that European competition can bring. So you can bet your bottom dollar that both of these clubs will fancy a slice of that sweet Uefa pie next season. As things stood at the start of the day – and we’ll re-evaluate when the 3pms have finished – Aston Villa are good for the Conference League, while eighth-placed Bournemouth are out of the qualification spots. But Villa are still within striking distance of a place in the Champions League next season, while eighth could be good enough for the Cherries providing Manchester City win the FA Cup and Newcastle remain in the top six. So it’s all to play for this evening at Dean Court. Kick-off is at 5.30pm BST. It’s on!
† Well, that and the gut-wrenching misery, but Arsenal have had it rough of late so let’s leave them to lick their wounds in peace.
