Manchester United will host Bournemouth at Old Trafford on Sunday in a crucial Premier League clash. Both teams will be looking to bounce back from recent disappointments.

Manchester United are currently 13th in the Premier League table, seven places and two points behind 6th-placed Bournemouth.

The Red Devils suffered a heartbreaking 4-3 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur in the EFL Cup quarter-finals on Thursday, despite a late comeback.

Bournemouth, on the other hand, snatched a point in a 1-1 draw with West Ham United on Monday, thanks to a late free-kick goal from Enes Unal. The Cherries are unbeaten in their last four Premier League games.
