Man Utd will aim to continue their push for a top-four spot against out-of-sorts Bournemouth , but recent history suggests a home win is anything but a foregone conclusion.
The Cherries have slipped to 13th after picking up just two points from the last 18 available and are without a goal in over 250 minutes of action.
That would indicate a long night for them at Old Trafford , but United have dropped five points in their last two home matches, both of which they would have expected to win, and the team's inconsistency remains a source of frustration for the Red Devils.
Bournemouth have also found Old Trafford a happy hunting ground, winning 3-0 on their last two visits, while they are unbeaten in their last four matches against United .
We think United , who are poised to lose Bryan Mbeumo , Amad Diallo and Noussair Mazraoui to AFCON duty, could edge this one, and our prediction is a home win with BTTS @ 9/4.

Man Utd Form Guide
United’s 4-1 win at Wolves saw them climb to sixth. But they were level at half-time against a side who could go down as the worst in Premier League history, so no champagne corks are being popped yet.
That Monday night match was the third of four midweek Premier League fixtures for United ahead of the Christmas period, and they have not impressed in any yet.
The first, also on a Monday, saw them lose 1-0 at home to 10-man Everton , and, after beating Crystal Palace on the weekend, United were then held 1-1 at Old Trafford by lowly West Ham on a forgettable Thursday night.
United are in the Monday night slot again against the Cherries, but we think Ruben Amorim ’s side will come out on top and Mbeumo - if available - to open the scoring @ 5/1 is tempting.
Bournemouth Form Guide
Bournemouth have been a revelation under Andoni Iraola , but their 2025-26 season appears to be a crossroads following a poor run.
They are still only five points behind Chelsea in fifth but also only seven points above improving West Ham and the relegation zone.
Only the bottom two Wolves and Burnley have picked up fewer points than Bournemouth over the last six games, and, with seven of their next nine fixtures coming against teams above them, things could get even bleaker on the south coast.
They at least do not have to worry about highly-prized forward Antoine Semenyo leaving for AFCON due to Ghana failing to qualify, and he could be a good bet to score against United for the third successive game @ 15/8.
