José Mourinho’s prediction that Manchester United will soon be back in the top four will face a severe examination against Bournemouth, who are unbeaten at home so far this season with three wins and two draws. United have won all but one of the past five meetings of these two sides in the Premier League but did come unstuck at the Vitality Stadium back in 2015. With Mourinho’s defensive problems yet to be resolved, Eddie Howe will fancy his chances of taking another scalp. Ed Aarons
