Sunday will see the "Battle of the Basques" as Andoni Iraola and Unai Emery face off at Villa Park.
Both sides will be looking to bounce back after losing in the Premier League last weekend.
Villa, who had won four of their previous six in the league, lost 2-0 to **Liverpool**at Anfield.
Whereas **Bournemouth**lost their nine-game undefeated run in the league, losing to Manchester City 3-1 at the Etihad.
The Cherries had only lost once prior to the City defeat, a 4-2 loss at champions **Liverpool**on opening night.

Aston Villa, who had a very quiet transfer window, started the season slowly and were winless in their opening six.
However, Emery's side are now backfiring, winning seven of the last nine in all competitions since the end of September.
The villains were in action on Thursday night, beating Maccabi Tel Aviv 2-0 at Villa Park.
Despite the game seeing no away fans, chaos broke out off the pitch with six people arrested in a heated protest.
Villa will be without former **Bournemouth**defender Tyrone Mings on Sunday due to a thigh injury.
The former **England**international will likely be out for some time, with his expected return in the new year.
Elsewhere, right-back Andreas Garcia will also miss the visit of the cherries with a muscle injury, with a return likely to be next month.

The Ghanaian has been one of the league's best this season, netting six times already, only behind Erling Haaland in that regard.
**Semenyo**has been a nightmare for defences with his direct play, making fullbacks look silly.
He also netted against the Villains in a 2-2 draw in Dorset in 2023.
