@Komptrolla's Prediction and betting tip

Aston Villa will play at home for the first time since their return to the top flight and it definitely would be a classic against the Bournemouth.

The cherries were held by Sheffield on day one and much to the surprise of many but they have to respond at Villa Park.

Speaking of response, Aston Villa fought very hard at Spurs and even scored first, but the fire powers of Harry Kane and teammates came too heavy for them in the second half.

They have to start their survival battle early, they don’t want to return to the depressing championship so early.

Verdict: Villa to win or draw

Player to watch: Jack Grealish
