Manchester United vs Bournemouth, Premier League 2019/20: What time is kick-off, what TV channel is it on and what is our prediction?.The last time these sides locked horns, there was an unexpected outcome. Bournemouth defeated United at the Vitality Stadium in November, with a goal from Josh King enough to claim all three points.However, that win preceded a streak of five straight losses for Eddie Howe’s team. Arguably, they haven’t recovered since. They’ve lost both of their games since the campaign’s restart, and haven’t won since February 1st.

For United, the loss to Bournemouth was indicative of their up-and-down beginning to the season. However, that seems to have settled down now and Solskjaer’s men haven’t lost a game since January 22nd.Incredibly, the two teams have only played each other on 17 occasions – a testament to Bournemouth’s recent climb up the divisions. United have of course historically dominated proceedings, winning 11 of those matches.In fact, the Cherries’ recent win over them was their first win over the Red Devils since 1989.
Too much has changed since that result in November to be able to predict another Bournemouth upset here. Since the arrival of Bruno Fernandes, United have looked increasingly dangerous going forward, and no longer rely purely on counter-attacks as they once did.Bournemouth, on the other hand, appear to look more flimsy by the week and were simply swept aside by Crystal Palace and Wolverhampton Wanderers in their last two games.
A good result against Newcastle United could galvanise Eddie Howe’s troops, but to expect a positive result three days later at Old Trafford simply feels too hopeful. It’s more likely that the Red Devils simply thump them in a game reminiscent of their recent wins over Sheffield United and Brighton.
