Andoni Iraola’s side are on the road again tomorrow as they travel to Aston Villa.
The Cherries come into the game off the back of their 3-1 loss to Manchester City on Sunday which saw Tyler Adams score his first goal in a Bournemouth shirt.
Unai Emery’s side had a rocky start to the season however now sit eleventh in the Premier League, just three points behind the Cherries.
Aston Villa beat Maccabi Tel Aviv 2-0 in the Europa League on Thursday night and now face a quick turnaround for tomorrow’s game.
Iraola has never beaten Emery, and the Cherries boss spoke on why he thinks that is.
He said: “You know more or less what they are going to do but they do it very well and they control different phases of game very well.
“They also have players up front who can play in different positions, so we need our top-level performance if we want to beat them because I think the overall level of the game is going to be high”
Friday morning brought good news to the Bournemouth camp as Alex Scott was called up to the England senior squad for the first time.
Iraola said: “I’m very pleased for him, I think he is playing very well. I suppose a good performance with the U21s in the summer has been very valuable.
“I’m also happy for the club because it’s always good for English clubs to have someone representing your country.”
Iraola said that there are no injuries this week and everyone is available.
He added: “When everyone is available you have options in every position and it gets difficult to choose the 20 that are going to make the squad.
“I’m having to leave out players that I trust a lot and they have been very good for us and it’s going to be like this and I hope it continues the same way because it means we don’t have injuries.”
The game kicks off at 2pm on Sunday at Villa Park and is being broadcast on TV.
