Manchester United will hope to continue their impressive form of late when they play host to Bournemouth in the Premier League. The Tuesday night contest at Old Trafford will see two sides placed at contrasting ends of the table going against each other. With Erik ten Hag’s revolution fully kicked-in, United are starting to look like a force to be reckoned with. The same cannot be said for Bournemouth, who are flirting with the relegation places.

Placed 15th in the standings, Bournemouth have only 16 points from 17 games. They have lost four of their last five league games to be inching closer to the dreaded relegation zone. Their home defeat to Crystal Palace at the weekend would have been particularly hurtful. Meanwhile, Manchester United have won their last five matches in all competitions, including three in the league. As things stand, the Red Devils have 32 points from 16 games to be placed 4th in the table.

There could be some positive developments with the availability of the players for Manchester United. Lisandro Martinez, who won the World Cup with Argentina, could make his eagerly-awaited return to the starting lineup. This could push Luke Shaw to the left-back role. However, it is unclear if Diogo Dalot is fit for this contest.
Besides, Scott McTominay is a big doubt, while Jadon Sancho and Axel Tuanzebe are set to be out of this contest. Meanwhile, Bournemouth will be without Neto and David Brooks. They are set to be joined on the sidelines by Junior Stanislas, Ryan Fredericks and Marcus Tavernier. Furthermore, there are a lot of question marks over the availability of Philip Billing for this match.
Manchester United possible line-up: De Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Martinez, Shaw, Casemiro, Eriksen, Fernandes, Antony, Rashford, Martial
Bournemouth possible line-up: Travers, Anthony, Smith, Senesi, Kelly, Zemura, Cook, Lerma, Billing, Moore, Solanke
