Before it gets started, you’ll find all the odds and info right here…
Match Odds
The odds favour United at Evens. Jose Mourinho’s side won both of the meetings between these sides without conceding last term. They’re 29/10 to win to nil again.
But Bournemouth are chasing a sixth win in seven. They’ll be feeling very confident and are 5/2 to take the points.
The draw is also going for 5/2.
Talking Tactics
Ryan Fraser, Callum Wilson and David Brooks have all impressed going forward for Bournemouth this term. Can they break down a United defence that still looks vulnerable?
Jefferson Lerma has also added real bite in midfield since his arrival in the summer. If he can keep Paul Pogba quiet, Bournemouth have a real chance to get something here.
Mourinho has plenty of attacking options now that Alexis Sanchez and Jesse Lingard are back from injury.
But with Anthony Martial in superb form, it makes little sense to changes things around too much. That means Marcus Rashford could start ahead of Romelu Lukaku again.
Goalscorer Odds
Rashford and Lukaku both share 9/2 favouritism as first goalscorer. Bournemouth will be looking to Callum Wilson to get the opener at 6/1.
Martial has four goals in four for United. The talented Frenchman is 17/10 to keep his scoring run going.
David Brooks has popped up with three goals in Bournemouth’s last four games. We go 16/5 that he gets another in this one.
