Manchester United lifted the first trophy of the season after they beat Southampton 3-2 last weekend and now they finally have the chance to move up a place in the Premier League on a permanent basis after Liverpool lost 3-1 to Leicester on Monday. With Jurgen Klopp’s side due to face Arsenal this weekend, United can move up into fifth with a win here.
Bournemouth have been poor in 2017 and are still looking for their first league win of 2017. The Cherries have lost each of their last four matches and haven’t won since New Year’s Eve. Eddie Howe’s side lost 3-1 on their first trip to Old Trafford last season and the odds are stacked against them here. Place Bet on NaijaBet.com
