Aston Villa will welcome AFC Bournemouth to Villa Park for a Premier League meeting on Saturday.
Unai Emery and co. are back in action on home soil for the final time this month on October 26th.
The Villians host Bournemouth in a 3pm BST kick-off and will fancy their chances of making it three wins from three in seven days.
Aston Villa beat Fulham 3-1 last Saturday in the Premier League before picking up a third straight win in the Champions League when they beat Serie A side Bologan on Tuesday.
Jhon Duran was named in the Champions League Team of the Week after helping the Midlands outfit secure three points in midweek.
But Emery could drop Duran vs Bournemouth on Saturday, seeing Ollie Watkins come back in as the primary number nine.
Now, ahead of the game, a bizarre Watkins record has come to light that will surely please the Villa faithful.
Ollie Watkins record ahead of Aston Villa vs Bournemouth
Watkins has been one of the most prolific strikers in the Premier League since he made the move to Aston Villa.
The England international found the net 19 times as well as providing 13 assists in 37 league matches in the 2023/24 season.
He has continued that form into the current campaign, already scoring five and assisting two in eight Premier League fixtures.
Now, a pretty unique and somewhat bizarre record regarding the striker has emerged ahead of Bournemouth.
Watkins has been involved in 15 Premier League goals in his last nine appearances against teams whose name starts with B (eight goals, seven assists).
He also has one goal and four assists in his last three games against Bournemouth. It is a random record, to say the least, but Villa fans should get a kick out of it ahead of Saturday’s matchup.
