Match Stats

Manchester United:

After a heart-wrenching 4-3 loss to Tottenham Hotspur in the EFL Cup, Manchester United are determined to put their midweek disappointment behind them when Bournemouth visit Old Trafford on Sunday. Despite a spirited comeback in the cup, which included two unlikely goals from Fraser Forster's errors, the Red Devils ultimately fell short, with a late header from Jonny Evans unable to salvage the tie. In the Premier League, Ruben Amorim’s side find themselves languishing in 13th place, a far cry from their usual top-four aspirations. United are still closer to the Champions League places than the relegation zone, but they risk spending Christmas in the bottom half of the table for the first time in Premier League history if they fail to secure three points here. At home, Manchester United have been strong offensively, scoring at least two goals in each of their last five home matches, but defensively, they remain vulnerable. A win is vital to lift morale and steady the ship.


Bournemouth:

Bournemouth are enjoying a promising season under Andoni Iraola and enter this game in strong form, having extended their unbeaten run to four matches after a thrilling 1-1 draw against West Ham last time out. The Cherries were rescued by a sublime late free-kick from Enes Unal, who netted a stunning equalizer with virtually the last kick of the game. While their three-match winning streak was halted, Bournemouth sit comfortably in 6th place, just two points below Manchester City, showing that they are a force to be reckoned with this season. Their attacking prowess has been evident, ranking second in the league for shots taken, and they will be looking to score for the 10th consecutive match in the Premier League. A win at Old Trafford would be a huge statement, as Bournemouth have already made history by winning 3-0 at United last season, and they’ll be aiming to avoid defeat for the third successive time against the Red Devils.
