After an action-packed Saturday in the EPL, Sunday isn't much quieter, with five games for viewers and bettors to feast on. One of the first games to kick off will take place at Villa Park, where Aston Villa and Bournemouth will clash. After their super slow start to the season, the Villans have started to warm up in recent weeks, beating both Spurs and Man City, while they bounced back from their loss to Liverpool with a straightforward Europa League win on Thursday night, which should mean that Unai Emery's men head into Sunday's game feeling confident.
The visitors may not be feeling as confident as they were around a week ago, with the Cherries losing to Man City last time out, but that was their first defeat in eight games (in all competitions), so we really shouldn't write them off. Let's be honest, Andoni Iraola's men look very, very capable, and they absolutely have enough quality to go away from home and hurt teams.

Our Aston Villa vs Bournemouth Prediction
So far this season, Ryan Christie has picked up just one EPL card, but do not be surprised if the fiery Scot starts to amass a few more cards as the fixtures now start to pile up. After all, Christie is one of Bournemouth's most prolific players in terms of fouls per 90 minutes, while he really is no stranger to getting in trouble with referees.
Given that we're talking about a player who last season averages 0.39 cards per 90 minutes, with Villa Park not being an easy venue to go to, odds of +320 simply look too good to turn down.
