Premier League preview and odds: Manchester United vs AFC Bournemouth

May 15 , 2016 15:00pm - Old Trafford

Premier League

Manchester United need to win against AFC Bournemouth at Old Trafford on Sunday if they are to stand any chance of grabbing fourth spot in the Premier League.

United need Swans favour

Manchester United`s top-four hopes were dealt a massive blow on Tuesday night when they threw away a 2-1 lead to fall 3-2 at West Ham. They must now win their final game and hope that Manchester City fall at Swansea City if they are to claim the final Champions League qualifying spot.

The Red Devils are unbeaten in seven league games on home soil, having won six in a row until the 1-1 draw against Leicester last time out. That game also broke a streak of four straight clean sheets on at home in the league for Louis van Gaal`s men.

Bournemouth looking forward to second season in top flight

With their Premier League status for next season confirmed, AFC Bournemouth will be hoping to put on a good performance for their travelling fans as they make the long journey north to face one of European football biggest teams.

Eddie Howe and his men have actually performed better on the road this term, having won six, drawn four and lost eight of their away games in the league. They come into this game on the back of 1-1 draw at home to West Bromwich Albion.

Team news

The home side will have to make do without Matteo Darmian, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Will Keane and Luke Shaw.

Meanwhile, Sylvain Distin, Adam Smith, Tokelo Rantie and Tyrone Mings are all missing for the visitors.
