Manchester United will welcome Bournemouth to Old Trafford as they aim to momentarily occupy third position on the Premier League table. Tuesday's encounter will be the first of four successive home games across all competitions - three of which are league games - and the Red Devils will be eager to make the best of it with the competition nearing its turning point.
So far, the ride has been far from turbulent as the arrival of Erik ten Hag has seemingly steadied the ship. Under the supervision of the Dutchman, the Red Devils have managed to climb to fourth place on the league log after 16 matches and are 11 points behind league leaders Arsenal with both clubs having a game in hand. They approach the upcoming game with just one defeat in their last eight Premier League outings.
As far as the history of this fixture goes, the odds are well in favour of Manchester United even with their issues in the striking department yet to be rectified. The Reds have successfully won seven of their last 10 matches against Bournemouth, losing two and drawing one. They have never lost to the Cherries at home in the Premier League and will be hopeful about keeping the run intact.
Needless to say, Gary O'Neil will be poised to lead to his men to achieve one of the biggest upset in the league yet when they travel to Old Trafford on Tuesday night. The ride has been far from smooth for Bournemouth following their return from the Championship this season and the quest to remain in the Premier League is far from done. At the moment, the Cherries sit in 15th position with just two points separating them and the drop.
A quick turn around in form in need as soon as possible as they have only managed two wins across their last 10 Premier League outings. They have lost six and have managed two draws as well.
