Why you should back Manchester United
The Red Devils swept their two-game series with Bournemouth last season and have won three consecutive Premier League meetings between the teams, outscoring the Cherries 9-2 during the streak. Brazilian midfielder Casemiro, who converted in both victories in 2022-23, is sidelined with a hamstring injury, but forward Marcus Rashford will look to continue his success against Bournemouth. The 26-year-old Rashford has scored in five of his nine EPL matchups versus the Cherries, including four of the last five.
Rashford is one of three members of the Red Devils with more than one tally this season as he netted his second in a 3-0 triumph over Everton on Nov. 26. Midfielder Scott McTominay leads the club with five goals after registering a brace in Wednesday's victory against Chelsea that gave him four tallies in his last six games across all competitions. Captain Bruno Fernandes, who converted in Manchester United's 5-2 win versus Bournemouth in July 2020, has notched three goals and three assists this campaign. See which team to pick here.
Why you should back Bournemouth
Since giving up six goals in a loss to Manchester City on Nov. 4, the Cherries have allowed a total of three tallies during their unbeaten streak. They have converted nine times in the four-game span, with striker Dominic Solanke recording three goals and midfielder Marcus Tavernier tallying twice. The 26-year-old Solanke is tied for seventh in the Premier League with seven tallies after finishing with six in 33 contests last season.
Antoine Semenyo is Bournemouth's second-leading scorer with three goals in 12 matches after converting once over 11 games with the team in 2022-23. The 23-year-old began that campaign in the EFL Championship with Bristol City, for whom he netted six tallies in 23 contests. Solanke and Semenyo both scored in the Cherries' 2-2 draw against Aston Villa last weekend, while defender Marcos Senesi and striker Kieffer Moore converted in Wednesday's triumph over Crystal Palace.
