Manchester United go into this game with the EFL Cup, FA Cup and Community Shield sitting in their trophy cabinet. Despite that they will consider this season to be a failure if they don't make it into the Champions League. That could be achieved by winning the Europa League or finishing in the top four. They start this weekend in sixth place and two points off the top four. This is the first game of the Premier League weekend, so a win here will take them fourth for a few hours before Liverpool take on Arsenal later in the day. United are in top form at present and have gone 16 league games without defeat and just one loss in the last 25. At home they haven't loss since being beaten by Manchester City in September. Not such impressive fixtures for Bournemouth who are sliding towards the bottom three after being in the top ten a few months ago. The south coast side are 14th in the table and only four points above the bottom three. That gap might close soon as teams like Leicester, Hull, Swansea and Crystal Palace start getting points. Bournemouth have gone eight league games without a win and lost the last four. It's the defence which is the major concern with at least two goals conceded in 13 of their last 15 games. The last seven away games have seen them concede 20 goals and you worry for them as they battle a Manchester United side who beat them 3-1 at home. Go for United to win this on a -1 handicap
