Bournemouth will look to be only the sixth side to achieve a Premier League double over Manchester United this term when they host the Red Devils at the Vitality Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
Andoni Iraola's side are holding on to eighth position and fighting for European football, but a goalless draw at 10-man Crystal Palace at the weekend did them no favors. Eight points adrift of seventh-placed Aston Villa, the Cherries' best-ever Premier League season could still be concluded with a Europa Conference League place depending on what happens in the FA Cup.
But with just a solitary win in their previous seven across all competitions, Bournemouth require a shake-up to stave off pressure from Fulham, Brighton & Hove Albion, Brentford and Crystal Palace. Meanwhile, the Red Devils find themselves trapped in a spiral of erratic form, with their worst-ever Premier League season unfolding.
Struggling in 15th with 15 losses and only 10 victories, Ruben Amorim's team followed up a dramatic Europa League quarterfinal turnaround against Lyon with a dismal 1-0 home defeat to Wolves last Sunday.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.

Bournemouth vs. Man United lineups, predicted starting 11, team news
Justin Kluivert returned from injury last time out, and they could get Luis Sinisterra back in this match too as the Cherries continue to get healthy. Sinisterra has been out for quite a bit and could need some time to ramp up his full match fitness.
That would leave just the two long-term absentees Enes Unal and Ryan Christie on the sidelines, with the rest of the squad potentially available for selection.
Bournemouth predicted XI (4-2-3-1, right to left): Kepa (GK) — Smith, Zabarnyi, Huijsen, Kerkez — Scott, Adams — Semenyo, Kluivert, Tavernier — Evanilson.
Injured: Sinisterra (hamstring, doubt), Unal (ACL), Christie (groin).
Suspended: None.
If Amorim decides to rotate the squad like he did last time out in the Premier League, it could mean multiple fringe players in the XI for this match. Young players like Tyler Fredricson and Harry Amass could be in line for more playing time, as both stood out in the recent defeat to Wolves.
It remains to be seen how much regular starters like Bruno Fernandes will be involved, knowing big European matches loom in just a few days' time.
Manchester United are hoping to have defender Matthijs de Ligt back soon from his foot injury, and while that may not come here, they're expecting to have the Dutchman on the field for the Europa League semifinals. They are still without long-term absentees Amad Diallo, Lisandro Martinez, and Joshua Zirkzee, while Toby Collyer is still waiting to make his return.
Man United predicted XI (3-4-2-1, right to left): Onana (GK) — Yoro, Maguire, Mazraoui — Dalot, Casemiro, Ugarte, Dorgu — Fernandes, Garnacho — Hojlund.
Injured: de Ligt (ankle, doubt), Diallo (ankle), L. Martinez (ACL), Zirkzee (hamstring), Collyer (knock).
Suspended: None.
