Manchester United continue the chase for a European spot next season as they visit the south coast to meet Bournemouth at Vitality Stadium, looking for revenge after a heavy defeat at home in the reverse fixture.
The Red Devils sit sixth in the Premier League table, but face a massive 11-point gap to Aston Villa above them in fifth, meaning the rest of the season will be focused primarily on holding those off below them. With England potentially earning five Champions League spots next season, United know they will only find themselves in the Europa League next season if they can hold of the significant number of clubs nipping at their heels.
West Ham sit one point back in seventh, and Newcastle are a point behind them in eighth. Meanwhile, Chelsea remain in the hunt back in ninth, three behind the Magpies, as multiple clubs hope to challenge United's hold on sixth.

Bournemouth are in good form, only seeing their three-game winning streak snapped by a pesky Luton Town last weekend. They are scoring goals in bunches, with the Cherries bagging 12 goals across their last six league matches dating back to a 1-0 defeat to Man City in late February, the last time they were held scoreless in Premier League play.

Man United vs Bournemouth best bet
Pick: Over 3.5 total goals
Odds: $2.12 (Unibet)
Bournemouth are absolutely capable of putting three past Man United for a second straight game. Liverpool scored twice on United at Old Trafford last time out, and could have scored plenty more had they been able to hit the target. Chelsea bagged four in the match prior to that, and even Brentford should have had way more than the one they scored after battering the Red Devils for over 3.0 xG on 31 shots.
With Dominic Solanke in sensational form chasing the Premier League Golden Boot, and United themselves able to find the net when given the chance, there should be ample opportunities to top the total in these 90 minutes.
