We simulated Bournemouth vs Manchester United to get a Premier League score prediction

Manchester United's race for Champions League football next season continues on Saturday when they take on Bournemouth in the Premier League.

After two defeats in a row, United got back on track with a convincing 2-0 win over Wolves in their last outing. The victory kept them one point ahead of Liverpool with a game in hand, with two wins in their last three enough to confirm a top-four finish.

Next up for United is a trip to the south coast against Bournemouth, with the Cherries confirming their place in the Premier League next season last week. The reverse fixture ended in a 3-0 win for Erik ten Hag's side, with Casemiro, Luke Shaw and Marcus Rashford getting on the scoresheet.

So, could United pick up an important three points in their race for Champions League football? We simulated Bournemouth vs Manchester United to get a score prediction.

To complete this simulation, we used FIFA 23 and updated the squads with the latest injuries and suspensions.

We predict that Bournemouth could line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with their line-up as follows: Neto; Smith, Mepham, Senesi, Vina; Lerma, Rothwell; Christie, Billing, Ouattara; Solanke.

We predict that United could set up in a 4-3-3 formation, with their line-up as follows: De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Lindelof, Shaw; Casemiro, Eriksen, Fernandes; Antony, Martial, Rashford.

United were finding it hard on the south coast in the opening stages, with Bournemouth having a few dangerous chances of their own in the opening 30 minutes. Rashford should've made it 1-0 when he missed the target after surging through one-on-one with the 'keeper, but United did take the lead moments later through Casemiro.
