PREDICTION: A 2-2 draw
FANTASY PICK: Juan Mata
KEY STAT: Bournemouth have played Manchester United eight times -- all in cup competitions -- and have won just once (W1 D2 L5). This victory was a famous FA Cup win in January 1984 (2-0).
- BOURNEMOUTH
Bournemouth have have been boosted by the return of Lee Tomlin and Marc Pugh. Tomlin (groin) and Pugh (Achilles) have been sidelined for around a month but are now back in training. Goalkeeper Adam Federici's ankle injury is not as bad as first feared so he could be back soon, but Callum Wilson, Max Gradel, Tyrone Mings and Christian Atsu remain long-term absentees.
- MAN UNITED
Captain Wayne Rooney is one of nine Manchester United players who will miss out. Midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin is available after overcoming a hip problem, but Rooney (ankle), Marcos Rojo (shoulder), Phil Jones (ankle), Ander Herrera (hamstring), Luke Shaw (leg) and Antonio Valencia (foot) remain out. Defenders Matteo Darmian (hamstring) and Chris Smalling (groin) are out after suffering their respective injuries in the 3-2 defeat to Wolfsburg while Bastian Schweinsteiger begins his three-match suspension for violent conduct following his elbow on Winston Reid in the 0-0 draw against West Ham last weekend. |
