There’s a real feel-good factor emanating from Old Trafford at the moment. The attack is looking as dangerous as it has all season and is backed up by a solid defensive record, while Chelsea’s unexpected defeat to the Hammers on Wednesday evening has seriously boosted their top-four prospects.
The mood is somewhat different in the Bournemouth camp, where a run of six defeats from seven winless outings has left Eddie Howe’s men staring down the barrel of relegation.
The Cherries’ latest outing saw them torn apart 4-1 at home by Newcastle and it’s not as though their visitors just capitalized on a good spell during the game, with the goals coming steadily throughout in the fifth, 30th, 57th and 77th minutes.
More alarmingly, Steve Bruce’s men are hardly big scorers typically, while even Bournemouth’s own sole strike was a 94th-minute consolation effort as they capitalized on the Magpies’ weakness at set pieces.
With that in mind, it’s virtually impossible to envisage the visitors scoring here from open play. United have now won 10 of 15 unbeaten matches across all competitions since late January, registering 11 clean sheets in the process as they never conceded more than once in a single game in that spell.
They’ve won each of the past four at the Theatre of Dreams by a combined 13-0 scoreline, with three of these victories coming by a minimum three-goal margin as the exception was a 2-0 win over local rivals Man City.
Manchester United To Win To Nil
The Red Devils would be third in a table of home results only, which must be a further concern for Eddie Howe.
Away from home, his Bournemouth side have now gone W1-D1-L12 across all competitions since late September as they failed to score on nine occasions, with their opponents producing wins to nil in five of the last seven.
Although the Cherries are usually quite good at finding the net when facing the top teams, they’re painfully low on confidence at the moment.
Indeed, they’re the division’s worst team on current form over the past six rounds of fixtures, while by contrast United are right near the top of that list.
To make matters worse, the visitors will have to make do without top scorer Callum Wilson. Since 2015/16, the Cherries have scored 1.42 goals per game in the 105 games he’s started, compared with just 1.04 when he hasn’t, a sharp reduction of 27%, so the win to nil appears nailed on.
