Bournemouth vs Man United Preview
- Date – Saturday, April 13, 2024
- Kick-off Time – 03:00 pm GMT
- Venue – City Ground
Man United will be bidding to enter the top four of the league table as they also search for three points to strengthen their European hopes for the coming season. They are 6th in the league standings and have lost twice in their last five Premier League fixtures. They are still 11 points behind Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa, who are fourth and fifth respectively in the standings.
A three-game winless streak for Erik Ten Hag’s side has seen them drop to 6th in the league table and their gap with 11th-placed Wolves cut to just seven points. A victory this weekend will help United control their position in the league table but a defeat will drop them to as low as eighth in the table.
They will then take on Bournemouth, who have been languishing just below the top half in the Premier League table. Their qualification hopes still remain alive but would require a win to secure their European qualification. They are 16 points above the relegation zone and only two points behind 10th-placed Brighton and Hove Albion.

Bournemouth vs Man United Team News
The Cherries are expected to be without only Ryan Fredericks (calf) and Luis Sinisterra (thigh) and the duo might return in the next matchday squad. Other than that, the Bournemouth treatment room has begun to empty out in recent times.
On the other hand, Man United lost both Raphael Varane and Jonny Evans in their draw against Liverpool which leaves them short at the centre-back position. But players like Luke Shaw, Lisandro Martinez and Victor Lindelof will be out until May. Man United outcast Anthony Martial could make his long-awaited return sometime this month.
