AFC Bournemouth are targeting their first win in five matches and their first goal in four fixtures.

Manchester United are seeking to build on last weekend's 3-1 victory at Norwich City, which halted their own four-match winless run.

Team news

Eddie Howe says he has no fresh injury concerns with Junior Stanislas and David Brooks remaining sidelined for AFC Bournemouth.

Midfielder Dan Gosling (hip), however, is closing in on a return and could be in contention for the visit of Manchester United.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will assess the fitness of Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof and Marcus Rashford ahead of Saturday's lunchtime kick-off.

The match comes too early for Axel Tuanzebe, Luke Shaw and Nemanja Matic, however, with Solskjaer confirming they will not be part of the travelling squad.
