Team Previews, Form and Preview

While Europe remains a considerable distance away, the dream of a first qualification into European football is still well and truly open in the eyes of the Bournemouth fans and players. The Cherries were wasteful in their last match, dominating Crystal Palace but ended up travelling home with a 0-0 draw.

After a Hollywood victory over Olympique Lyonnais in the Europa League quarter finals, Amorim has expressed his sole focus on silverware and European glory. Similar to their opponents for this match. Manchester United were the side in charge of their last fixtures but displayed their continuing poor struggles in front of goal as Wolves left the Theatre of Dreams with all three points.

AFC Bournemouth Preview

AFC Bournemouth Predicted Lineup (4-2-3-1): Arrizabalaga; Kerkez, Hujsen, Zabarnyi, Hill; Adams, Cook; Outtara, Kluivert, Semenyo; Evanilson

Already victorious once over Manchester United this season, Bournemouth seem confident they can become the second team in two weekends to complete the double over the Red Devils.

Having his best season to date, Justin Kluivert has been arguably the most dangerous player on this Bournemouth team. Comparing to last season, Kluivert has sky rocketed, collecting 21 goal contribution this season improving on the 11 he got last season.

Manchester United Preview

Manchester United Predicted Lineup (3-4-2-1): Onana; Fredricson, Maguire, Lindelof; Amass, Eriksen, Casemiro, Dorgu; Fernandes, Garnacho; Obi-Martin

Similar to the Wolverhampton game, Amorim is likely to turn to his younger and less preferably players mixed in with a few starters as he will want his best players fully rested to face off against Athletic Club next week.

Impressing both the manager and fans on his debut, Manchester United academy graduate Tyler Fredricson is likely to keep his place in the starting xi. With the long-awaited return of Amad Diallo speculated to b this weekend, we think the Ivorian Messi will feature as a up if he does not remain rested for the Europa League.
