Manchester United will be aiming for consecutive Premier League wins when they host an eighth-placed Bournemouth side, three points above them, on Sunday (2pm GMT).
Bournemouth are unbeaten in four games, although their three-game winning streak ended with a 1-1 draw at home to West Ham on Monday.
The Cherries won 3-0 at Old Trafford last December and took the lead twice in a 2-2 draw in the return leg in April.
