Bournemouth vs Manchester United: Premier League preview

Andoni Iraola's Bournemouth continued their recent form against United in December. Having won two and drawn two of the previous four meetings, the Cherries needed a late Eli Junior Kroupi equaliser to salvage a spectacular 4-4 draw.

Both teams led in that topsy-turvy Old Trafford classic and both have significantly improved their league positions in the three months since.

United are up three places from sixth, while Bournemouth have climbed from 13th to 10th despite losing the scorer of their first goal in the reverse fixture during the January transfer window.

Four draws in a row have slowed their roll but Bournemouth remain on the fringes of the fight for what would be a first-ever European place.

Man United are on the up. A frustrating defeat to Newcastle United notwithstanding, they've been flying since Carrick was installed as interim head coach.

They've won seven and drawn one of the other eight matches on Carrick's watch, a run that includes wins over Arsenal, Manchester City and Villa – the top three upon his appointment.

With City playing in the Carabao Cup final this weekend, United have a chance to close the gap between third and second to just four points. Their city rivals will have a game in hand but Carrick, you'd think, will settle for asking them a question.
