AFC Bournemouth have a chance of securing European football for next season but, like last season, are fearful of falling just short ahead of the visit of Manchester United.

Bournemouth preview: Push for Europe

Highly-rated coach Andoni Iraola comes into this ‘run-in’ once again sought after with the Cherries turning their form around since the turn of the year, unbeaten in their last ten matches in the Premier League.

However, Bournemouth have been frustrated by four successive draws ahead of this one, including back-to-back goalless draws against out of form Brentford and then relegation-bound Burnley of late.

Man Utd preview: Back to winning ways

With a brilliant start to his reign as interim boss, performances began to dip for Manchester United before their recent loss to Newcastle United – but the Red Devils got back on track last week.

Up against fellow top four contenders, United strengthened their grip on UEFA Champions League qualification with a 3-1 victory over Aston Villa, inspired by a brilliant Bruno Fernandes performance.

Bournemouth vs Man Utd prediction

There is now a feeling that a defeat may just about be around the corner for the hosts. Bournemouth’s ten-match unbeaten run is flattering them, with frustrating and toothless performances of late. They will still seek to get after United down at the Vitality Stadium but, with so many in-form attackers, backing Carrick’s visitors to simply outscore their opposition would be a good bet.
