Bournemouth: Despite having the smallest ground in the division, they are punching well above their weight this season as they sit in sixth position. Especially at home, they will feel confident of frustrating their opponents in this one.
They could be without captain Simon Francis for the tie, as well as Josh King still having an issue. Other than that should be at full strength for such an important game.
Man Utd: The 'Red Devils' have had a very difficult start ot the season, but have had a slight upturn in their fortunes in recent weeks, with anthony Martial in parituclar hitting form.
In terms of injuries, Diego Dalot, Antonio Valencia and Marouane Fellaini are definite absentees for this one, but there could be a return to action for Jesse Lingard and Alexis Sanchez.
Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe on the strength Man Utd possess:
"Every time you play Manchester United as Bournemouth, Manchester United are favourites for the game, I've got no problem for that.
"Players need to know to get anything out of the game, they are going to have to excel, perhaps even above what we have done this season, to get a positive result."
Man Utd boss Jose Mourinho on their opponents success this season:
“Now they want more than stability and they are fighting for these Europa League positions, just below the top four target - that is obviously a very difficult target for anyone.
“But [with some] fantastic work, they have great stability. Same manager, same players basically. Clinical scouting work, clinical decisions about who to buy and when to buy. I think it’s fantastic work and I wouldn't say it's a big surprise.”
