📋 Team News: Bournemouth
Almost everyone can be considered, as there’s just the lone fitness concern for the Bournemouth manager Gary O'Neil to contend with from an otherwise complete set of players. David Brooks (Fitness) will miss out.
It seems likely that The Cherries should kick off with a 4-2-3-1 system for the game, handing starts to Neto, Adam Smith, Illia Zabarnyi, Lloyd Kelly, Matias Vina, Jefferson Lerma, Joe Rothwell, Dango Ouattara, Philip Billing, Ryan Christie and Dominic Solanke.
🗞️ Team News: Manchester United
Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has to choose a team with limited availability. Scott McTominay (Unknown Injury), Marcel Sabitzer (Meniscal Injury), Tom Heaton (Ankle Injury), Lisandro Martínez (Metatarsal Fracture) and Donny van de Beek (Knee Injury) are those who can’t be considered.
It’s our belief that The Red Devils might begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 system, giving starts to David De Gea, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Raphael Varane, V. Nilsson Lindeloef, Luke Shaw, Casemiro, Christian Eriksen, Antony, Bruno Fernandes, Jadon Sancho and Anthony Martial.
✨ Prediction
We’re inclined to think that Manchester United can see a lot of the ball and convert quite a few goal-scoring opportunities.
At the other end, Bournemouth might well find it difficult to get goals of their own although we reckon that they could well end up hitting back at some stage, too.
Our selection here is for a decent 1-3 margin for Manchester United after 90 minutes.
