Manchester United claimed another huge victory in midweek as they downed rivals Chelsea 2-1 at Old Trafford thanks to a Scott McTominay double.
That result helped to relieve some of the pressure on manager Erik ten Hag as his side moved up to sixth spot in the Premier League standings, just three points back from rivals Manchester City who currently sit fourth.

But Bournemouth arrive at Old Trafford this weekend after securing their own impressive victory in midweek, a 2-0 win away to Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. That result moved Andoni Iraola’s side further clear of the relegation spots as the Cherries remain unbeaten across their last four league outings, winning three of those in the process.

Man United vs Bournemouth best bet
Pick: Both teams to score – NO Odds: +130 (DraftKings)
Backing the market for both teams not to score in this clash between Manchester United and Bournemouth seems the way to go at +130 with DraftKings which offer great bang for your buck.
Of course, the Red Devils are still struggling for clean sheets of late following their 2-1 victory over Chelsea in midweek, but they definitely have enough to keep Bournemouth quiet in this latest outing.
That’s mostly due to the Cherries’ terrible record when playing at Old Trafford across all competition as they’ve lost in nine of their ten visits to this famous ground (D1). Across those ten outings, Bournemouth have scored just five times with their last visit ending in a routine 3-0 win for Man United.
There’s also the additional caveat that just six of Man United’s 15 Premier League matches this season have seen both teams score — the second-lowest amount in the competition — which gives this selection another boost.
Man United vs Bournemouth flier bet
Pick: Bruno Fernandes to score first Odds: +600 (DraftKings)
Although he missed a first-half penalty at Old Trafford in midweek against Chelsea, Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has enjoyed an upturn in form of late.
As a result, it’s very difficult to ignore him to score in this clash against Bournemouth especially as DraftKings are offering the Portuguese midfielder as +600 to open the scoring.
So far this season, Fernandes has netted five times across 21 first team appearances, including three in the Premier League. Of those three in the league, two have also come as match openers which leaves the 29-year-old well-placed to repeat the feat again this weekend.
On top of that, Fernandes also scored in this exact fixture back during the 2019/20 campaign, as well as adding two assists in the same game.
