Dream11 Fantasy Soccer: Manchester United v. Bournemouth Preview

This article is part of our Dream11 Fantasy Soccer series.

Game Preview

Manchester United arrive into this game riding a 15-game undefeated streak in all competitions and, as such, it shouldn't be surprising to see them as massive favorites to secure the three points. That's also backed up by the fact that Bournemouth have been one of the worst teams in the league this season, and they would be relegated if the season ended today. The Red Devils are coming off two straight wins in league play and also reached the FA Cup semi-finals last week. Bournemouth, on the other hand, are coming off four straight losses and have also suffered seven straight defeats away from home.

Recent Form

Manchester United: W3, D2

Bournemouth: D1, L6

Top Picks

Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United: The Portugal star has been listed as doubtful with a knock after a collision with Paul Pogba during Friday's training session, but he shouldn't have problems featuring in this contest. He netted a brace earlier this week against Brighton and has netted five goals to go along with three assists in his first eight Premier League appearances.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Manchester United: Wan-Bissaka has been one of Manchester United's most prolific players this season. The attack-minded right-back looks great when pushing forward and is enjoying a great second half of the season. Plus, he has registered assists in back-to-back matches.

Captain and Vice-Captain Options

  1. Bruno Fernandes
  2. Aaron Wan-Bissaka
  3. Marcus Rashford
  4. Anthony Martial
