Two sides struggling to find wins meet at Old Trafford on Monday evening as Manchester United entertain Bournemouth.

The Red Devils ran out 4-1 winners at Wolves a week ago, which was just their second Premier League success in six attempts, while Bournemouth held Chelsea scoreless, taking only their second point in six games.

Ruben Amorim will sense an opportunity for another success against an out-of-sorts Cherries side but this is unlikely to be straightforward.

Team news

Man Utd are sweating on the fitness of Benjamin Sesko (knee) and Lisandro Martinez (match fitness) while Matthijs de Ligt (back) and Harry Maguire (hamstring) remain on the sidelines for now.

Old Trafford officials have held talks with the federations of Amad Diallo (Ivory Coast), Bryan Mbeumo (Cameroon) and Noussair Mazraoui (Morocco) in the hopes they can delay their departures to the Africa Cup of Nations – with Monday officially the FIFA-approved cut off.

Teenager Ayden Heaven could remain in the starting XI for the hosts.

Defender Marcos Senesi was withdrawn in the stalemate with Chelsea but Bournemouth are confident he will be good to go.

Veljko Milosavljevic (ligaments), Ryan Christie (knee) and Ben-Gannon Doak (hamstring) are all absentees while Lewis Cook remains suspended but Tyler Adams is available for selection after his ban.

The stats

Manchester United have failed to win any of their last four Premier League games against Bournemouth (D2 L2).

The Red Devils have managed only one clean sheet in their 15 Premier League games this season.

Bournemouth have lost four of their seven away games in the league (W1, D2).

United are without a win in two at Old Trafford, losing to Everton and drawing with West Ham.

Bournemouth have failed to score in successive games but had 15 goals in eight games prior to that.

Only three players have had more Premier League shots than Antoine Semenyo (30) this season.

Prediction

Given both teams' lack of victories recently, getting behind either of these sides to win is tough.

Man United struggled massively to break down Everton and West Ham, taking one point from a possible six despite the Toffees playing a large part of the game a man light.

Andoni Iraola's visiting side are winless in six but that run includes trips to Manchester City and Aston Villa as well as a home clash with Chelsea – that trio sit second, third and fourth going into this round of games.

They should be very competitive against a Red Devils side who remain somewhat enigmatic.

The best betting play therefore could be going with talented attacker Semenyo to fire multiple shots on target.

The Ghanaian has had 30 shots at goal in 14 Premier League games and has also netted in each of his last two outings against Manchester United. He should be a key danger against a home side who can sometimes be lackadaisical in their defending.
