Manchester United could take a huge step towards claiming a Champions League next season place when they travel to Bournemouth this weekend.
The Red Devils head into Saturday’s game a point clear of fifth-place Liverpool in the table, with Jurgen Klopp’s side having played a game more. United got back to winning ways last week with a 2-0 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers, following successive defeats to Brighton & Hove Albion and West Ham United.
Erik ten Hag’s side have struggled on the road of late and have won just one of the last six away games in the league. United will hope to put that right on Saturday in their final away match of the campaign, although they have a mixed record at the Vitality and have won just three of their five visits to the ground in the Premier League.
When the sides last met last it was United who grabbed a comfortable 3-0 win at Old Trafford thanks to goals from Casemiro, Luke Shaw and Marcus Rashford.
As for the Cherries, they have been perhaps the surprise package of the season and have pulled comfortably clear of the relegation zone ahead of the final weeks of the campaign. Bournemouth are 14th in the table and are eight points above the drop zone.
The south-coast side’s form has dropped in recent weeks, however, and Bournemouth have lost the last two to Chelsea and Crystal Palace.
But what about the latest team news? Ahead of the game, we take a look at the full injury list from both clubs.
1. Ryan Fredericks- Out
Hasn’t played in the Cherries’ last 10 due to a calf problem.
2. Hamed Traore- Out

3. Marcus Tavernier- Out

4. Junior Stanislas- Out
