Bournemouth and Manchester United will lock horns with each other in the Premier League this coming weekend. The match between the Cherries and the Red Devils will be held at the Vitality Stadium and is scheduled to kick off at 2pm UK time on Sunday.
Bournemouth
Bournemouth are a modest club who play their home games in a modest stadium with a modest capacity, but the Cherries are doing extremely well this season. Andoni Iraola’s side finished 12th in the Premier League table last season and could end up in the top five this time around.
The Cherries are eighth in the Premier League table at the moment with 49 points from 33 matches. Bournemouth are eight points behind fifth-placed Chelsea and could still end up in the UEFA Champions League places in the league table this season.
Bournemouth will head into the Premier League game against Manchester United at the Vitality Stadium this coming weekend on the back of a goalless draw with Crystal Palace away from home at Selhurst Park in London in the league. It came after a 1-0 victory over Fulham at home in the Premier League, which followed a 2-2 draw with West Ham United at London Stadium in the league.
Team News:
Bournemouth are likely to line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation against Manchester United at the Vitality Stadium. Kepa Arrizabalaga will be in goal for the Cherries. Adam Smith, Illia Zabarnyi, Dean Huijsen and Milos Kerkez will be the four defenders. Alex Scott and Tyler Adams will be the two holding midfielders. Antoine Semenyo, Justin Kluivert and Dango Ouattara will be the three attacking midfielders. Evanilson will lead the line for Bournemouth.
Manchester United
Manchester United are arguably the biggest club in England, but things have been dire for the Red Devils for a while now. Even under head coach Ruben Amorim, Man Utd are struggling and are unlikely to end up in the top half of the league table.
The Red Devils are as low as 14th in the Premier League table at the moment with 38 points from 33 matches. Man Utd are below the likes of Everton, Brentford and Crystal Palace in the standings and have been damagingly poor this season.
Man Utd will head into the Premier League game against Bournemouth away from home at the Vitality Stadium this coming weekend on the back of a 1-0 defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers at Old Trafford in the league.
