Man Utd v Bournemouth

Manchester United vs Bournemouth Preview

Fresh from their Manchester derby win over rivals Manchester City last Sunday afternoon, Manchester United will now return to Old Trafford for this Sunday's encounter against Bournemouth no doubt looking to make it two wins on the trot under new manager Ruben Amorim.

Bournemouth extended their unbeaten run in the Premier League to four games overall as The Cherries gained a point in a 1-1 draw at home with West Ham last weekend which followed on from three previous wins on the trot, moving the south coast club up into sixth place in the table.

Despite their comeback win over neighbours Manchester City which saw United win 2-1 after being a goal down, the Red Devils still remain in 13th place in the Premier League table ahead of this weekend's action but having bounced back from two previous losses on the trot, the hosts will be in a more confident frame of mind.

Manchester United had previously stumbled to losses at the hands of Arsenal and Nottingham Forest, while the bigger picture shows United have managed to capture just four wins from their last 12 matches overall along with four draws and four defeats.

Ruben Amorim's job is to therefore make Manchester United a much more consistent outfit and results overall on home soil at Old Trafford have been reasonable enough, picking up seven wins in their last 14 home games overall in the top flight.

Bournemouth bring a solid looking four-match unbeaten run into this upcoming encounter at Old Trafford which consists of collecting three wins a draw in recent times, lifting The Cherries up into sixth place in the Premier League table.

Previous important victories over the likes of Wolves, Tottenham and Ipswich Town respectively will give the south coast visitors a welcome boost ahead of this upcoming clash on Sunday afternoon, but results away from home so far in this season's Premier League campaign have been a mixed bag to say the least.

Three wins, two draws and three defeats underline Bournemouth's inconsistent streak on their travels this term and although Andoni Iraola's side have registered wins on the road at Everton, Wolves and Ipswich Town, the visitors have also slipped to defeats at Liverpool, Leicester City and Brentford as well.

However, collecting just five wins from their last 18 outings on the road in the domestic top flight along with being handed nine defeats in the process suggests this trip to Old Trafford could cause The Cherries a few problems.

Manchester United v Bournemouth Verdict

Manchester United have won three of the last five encounters against Bournemouth and with players fighting for places in the starting XI under new manager Ruben Amorim, the hosts should be hungry enough to grab the three points here.

Therefore, our main bet will be Manchester Utd win @ 1.80
