Manchester United host Bournemouth at Old Trafford on Sunday, October 25 (10:00 AM ET \/ 9:00 AM CT \/ 7:00 AM PT).<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bournemouth arrive at Old Trafford missing 4 key names: the thigh-injury pair of Julian Araujo and Alex Scott, ankle-and-foot absentee Eli Kroupi, and knee-injury casualty Veljko Milosavljevic. That strips depth from their back line and midfield, but Marcus Tavernier is fit and has been their most productive attacker, with 4 goals and 10 shots on target from 16 shots overall. Manchester United have no fresh fitness concerns to report and will again lean on Bryan Mbeumo and Bruno Fernandes up top \u2014 Mbeumo has 4 goals from 24 shots, while Fernandes has created 16 chances and added 3 goals of his own.<\/p>\n

This looks like a contest Manchester United should edge rather than dominate. Manchester United have taken 7 points from 7 games this season (1 win, 4 draws, 2 losses) and Bournemouth have 6 points from the same number of games (1 win, 3 draws, 3 losses), but United’s 0 goal difference compares favourably with Bournemouth’s -4, shaped by results like the 5-1 defeat at Chelsea. Expect United’s extra control in behind the ball from Mbeumo and Fernandes to make the difference, with Bournemouth’s own threat through Tavernier and Francisco Evanilson keeping them involved in the contest rather than out of it.<\/p>\n\n\n
