Manchester United failed to win any of their Premier League ties against Bournemouth last season, losing 3-0 at Old Trafford in December.

Bournemouth have lost five of their seven Premier League away games against Man Utd (W1 D1), but won this very game 3-0 last season.

If Manchester United do not win this game, it would be the first time since 1989/90 that they end up in the bottom half of the table at Christmas (12th).

Bournemouth have won their last two away games in the Premier League. They last won more times in a row away from home in December 2023, in a series of four wins, in the third game against Manchester United.

Manchester United have conceded a higher proportion of their goals from corners than any other team in the Premier League this season (42% – 8/19). In fact, four of the seven goals conceded so far under Ruben Amorim came from corners.

Only Manchester City (282) have had more shots than Bournemouth (270) in the Premier League this season, with the 29 they attempted against West Ham last time out being the second most in a Premier League game, behind the 32, which they had against Sheffield United in March 2024.

Bournemouth have scored more goals from substitutes than any other Premier League team this season (8), while their 17 since the start of last season are bettered only by Brighton and Hove Albion (18).

Manchester United’s Amad Diallo has scored or assisted in each of his last five Premier League starts (1 goal, 5 assists), most recently scoring the winner against Manchester City.

After having no goals and two assists in his first nine Premier League games this season, Manchester United’s Bruno Fernandes has now been involved in seven in his last seven appearances (4 goals, 3 assists).

Ryan Christie was directly involved in 11 of Bournemouth’s 29 shots against West Ham, having six shots and creating five chances. It was only the third time a Cherries player had more than 5 shots and more in a Premier League game, after Jordon Ibe against Brighton in January 2018 (7 shots, five chances) and Josh King against Chelsea in January 2018 than 5 chances created in January 2019 (five shots, five chances).
