Coming into this tie, Aston Villa are currently unbeaten in seven meetings with Bournemouth, dating back to 2022. However, the Claret and Blue Army have won only one of five visits to Dorset since the opening day of the 2015/16 season. Back then, Rudy Gestede's towering header snatched victory late on, albeit Villa would go on to win just two more games all season, finishing bottom.
More recently, Unai Emery's team demolished the Cherries 4-0 at home last season, before the pair drew 1-1 by the South Coast in February. This will be the first time they have ever met in the League Cup. The Villans have only gone beyond this round in the Carabao Cup once since 2013, this when Dean Smith's team got all the way to the final in 2020, defeated by Manchester City just before lockdown. If they're to repeat that run, Emery's team will need to overcome a tough opponent.
