Manchester United are home to Bournemouth in this Sunday Premier League game. The Red Devils begin the weekend in 13th place with their opponents in sixth place. However, it's a tight table and a home win for United will take them above their opponents. United have only won six league games this season, one less than the Cherries. The big problem that their new coach has to sort out is United's inconsistency. They won the Manchester derby last weekend but then lost at Tottenham in the Carabao Cup on Thursday. Not since May of this year have United won two successive league games in the same season.
Bournemouth are three points ahead of United and are unbeaten in their last four league matches. As the weekend begins, they are only three points behind the top four in the Premier League. Can the Cherries get a third straight away league win? Read our match prediction.

Manchester United - Bournemouth: Form Analysis
Manchester United will be looking to win their fifth home league game of the season. Three of their eight home league fixtures have been lost and the most recent came when being beaten 3-2 by Nottingham Forest. Before that they had beaten Leicester and Everton to nil at Old Trafford.
Six of their last seven home league games have seen over 2.5 goals scored. That same statistic comes up for their last seven games in all competitions. Their last match saw them lose 4-3 away at Tottenham in the Carabao Cup.
Another win at Old Trafford for Bournemouth?
Bournemouth would love a repeat of last season when they won 3-0 at Old Trafford. They have won three away league games this season but lost the same number. Their most recent league game saw them held to a 1-1 home draw by West Ham United needing a 90th minute equalizer.
Their last two away league matches have both been won and they have scored eight goals in their last three on the road. Over 2.5 goals have been scored in five of their last seven Premier League away fixtures.

Manchester United & Bournemouth Squad Analysis
Will Marcus Rashford play in this match is a leading question. He has been left out of United's squad for their past two matches and is keen on leaving the club in January. Amorim says he could still have a future at the club, so will he be in the squad for this match?
Doubtful for this match is Victor Lindelof who was injured at Tottenham on Thursday. Definitely not playing will be Mason Mount who was injured in the win at Manchester City last weekend. Luke Shaw is still on the injured list.
Could Unai start this match?
Enes Unai saved a point for Bournemouth on Monday evening. He's scored twice as a sub in recent weeks and might be given a start ahead of the struggling Evanilson. He's not scored in his last five league matches.
Bournemouth didn't sustain any fresh injuries in their game against West Ham United on Monday. They still have several players who will be absent from this trip to Old Trafford. Marcus Tavernier, Marcos Senesi, Alex Scott, Julian Araujo and Luis Sinisterra are all out for the Cherries.
