Bournemouth v Man Utd

Bournemouth vs Manchester United Preview

Bournemouth's promising five-match unbeaten run in the Premier League was halted by a 2-1 defeat away from home at Luton Town last weekend but The Cherries return to their Vitality Stadium for Saturday evening's clash against a hot-and-cold Manchester United outfit who drew 2-2 at home with Liverpool last Sunday but the visitors have now managed just one win from their last six matches overall.

Bournemouth are another side who have enjoyed a solid campaign in the English top flight this season as the south coast club currently occupy 12th place in the Premier League standings and the hosts head into this upcoming clash having lost just once in their last six matches overall.

Within this period, Bournemouth have picked up important wins against Burnley, Luton Town, Everton and Crystal Palace, the latter three victories all being recorded on home soil at their Vitality Stadium as Andoni Iraola's side continue to defy the odds as the comparative minnows rub shoulders with among Europe's elite clubs and continue to hold their own.

However, the bigger picture shows Bournemouth have managed to collect just these four wins from their previous 13 games overall in the English top tier and includes slipping to five defeats as well.

Manchester United had to make do with a point against their old foes Liverpool at Old Trafford despite fighting back from being 1-0 down to leading 2-1 with just six minutes remaining of the 90 minutes as Mo Salah equalised from the penalty spot in what was an entertaining spectacle.

Nevertheless, that result means that the Red Devils have registered just one win from their last six games in the domestic top flight which came in the form of a 2-0 home win against Everton but the visitors have also succumbed to three defeats within this period as well.

Losses at the hands of Fulham, Manchester City and Chelsea respectively have prevented Manchester United from making in-roads into the top five of the table and therefore the European spots and indeed, Erik ten Hag's side now trail fifth placed Aston Villa by a significant 11 points heading into this weekend's action.

Results away from home have also been pretty poor by Manchester United's standards as the visitors have recorded just three wins from their previous 10 outings on the road which were claimed at Wolves, Aston Villa and Luton Town along with being handed five defeats as well.

Bournemouth v Manchester United Verdict
