Set-piece efficiency could prove the difference on the night. Both Viitorul Corbeanca and Progresul Draganesti have invested time in dead-ball situations this season, and a single corner or free-kick may settle it. No wonder the skipper had talked of a 'new Aston Villa' in the pre-match press conference with what seemed like genuine excitement.

There is a strong interest in Alex Scott but Bournemouth are sticking to their guns over the midfielder.

A 0-1 away win would not be a shock. More than just three points is on the line at the home ground — this is a fixture that could shape the narrative of both clubs' seasons. It is understood that his next move is most likely to take him abroad - and potentially to the Premier League.
