Manchester United vs Bournemouth predicted formations

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

Manchester United have a clean bill of health to pick from, with Bryan Mbeumo and Bruno Fernandes both having played every minute of the league season so far and set to lead the attack again. Bournemouth’s options are far more restricted: the injured Julian Araujo, Alex Scott, Eli Kroupi and Veljko Milosavljevic are all out, leaving Marcus Tavernier and Evanilson to carry the bulk of the attacking threat at Old Trafford.

Manchester United have taken 7 points from their opening 7 games, with Bournemouth 1 point back on 6. The shape of this one points to goals: United carry a goal difference of 0, and Bournemouth’s own defense has shipped enough to sit at -four, a combination that should suit Mbeumo, Fernandes and Tavernier alike. Old Trafford should see chances at both ends before United’s extra firepower tells by the final whistle.

Manchester United vs Bournemouth Prediction

Manchester United have shown they can create and concede in equal measure this season, and that pattern looks set to continue against a Bournemouth side also prone to leaking goals. Mbeumo and Bruno Fernandes carry enough quality to get United back in front after Tavernier has his say at the other end, and Manchester United should edge it 2-1.
