Cherries' Good Recent Record vs United Can Give Them Boost for Red Devils Visit

Bournemouth's 10-game unbeaten streak challenges Manchester United's pursuit of a top-four Premier League finish in a crucial Gameweek 31 clash.

  • On Friday March 20, 2026 Manchester United travel to Bournemouth for Gameweek 31, with kick-off at 8 p.m. GMT at the Vitality Stadium and live coverage available.
  • Manchester United can strengthen their Champions League push after a 3-1 win, while Bournemouth aim to convert their unbeaten streak into European qualification, despite four recent draws.
  • United's selection is shaped by a trio of enforced absences, with Patrick Dorgu, Matthijs de Ligt and Lisandro Martínez out, while Noussair Mazraoui, ill earlier this week, is expected to recover; Bournemouth miss four players including Justin Kluivert, Lewis Cook, and Julio Soler for the season.
  • A United victory would have immediate table consequences, cementing third place and moving them six points clear of Unai Emery's side before a 24-day break.
  • The reverse fixture was an eight-goal 4-4 thriller at Old Trafford, and Bruno Fernandes continues a prolific run, having broken a club assists record, despite United scoring just once with over 7.0 xG in four games.
