The Premier League weekend kicks off at the Vitality Stadium on March 20, as Man United travel to Bournemouth.
The Red Devils have taken a strong hold on a Champions League spot following a win over Aston Villa last time out. However, the Cherries should be confident coming into this home fixture after going five without a defeat.

Andoni Iraola’s Bournemouth will still have hopes of a European challenge in the closing stages of the Premier League season.
The Cherries have shown reliable form throughout the campaign, but it is hard to ignore that they have played out draws in each of their last four. Bournemouth have found goals hard to come by in recent weeks, most recently playing out a 0-0 draw with Burnley.
That was the second straight game in which the Cherries had failed to score. Despite that, a win on Friday could take the hosts to as high as eighth in the EPL standings.

Man United’s relentless form under Michael Carrick continued on Sunday after landing a well deserved 3-1 win over Aston Villa at Old Trafford.
Bruno Fernandes was once again the standout star, recording two assists to set a club record for the most assists in a Premier League season. Importantly, the victory gives the Red Devils a six-point advantage over sixth-placed Chelsea in the race for Champions League qualification.
But, it could be worth noting that United were beaten for the first time under Carrick in their latest away fixture.
| TOTAL | Bournemouth | Man United | DRAWS | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Games | 18 | 4 | 10 | 4 |
| Goals | 61 | 24 | 37 |
Man United have won four of their eight fixtures at the Vitality Stadium. The away win is once again preferred this Friday against a rival that has struggled for goals in their last two fixtures.
