Sunday’s Premier League action kicks off at the Vitality Stadium where Bournemouth take on Manchester United.

The Cherries have been busy bringing in a host of new faces ahead of their second season in the top flight, having beat the odds to stay up in a fairly comfortable fashion last season.

Record signing Jordan Ibe is in line to make his Cherries debut along with Lewis Cook, Lys Mousset, and Brad Smith with Junior Stanislas out with a hamstring injury.

Callum Wilson is priced at 9.0 (8/1) to open the scoring with Paddy Power, with Benik Afobe a 8.5 (15/2) chance with Bet 365.

The home win is priced at 4.85 (50/13) with 888 Sport with the visitors favourites at rel=”nofollow”1.87 (20/23) with Bet Victor. The draw can be backed at 3.7 (27/10) with Ladbrokes.

Having clinched the Community Shield last weekend, Jose Mourinho has been putting the finishing touches to his squad ahead as the Red Devils look to win a first league title in four years.

Paul Pogba completed his world record move from Juventus last week but is unavailable for selection as serves a one match ban as a result of picking up two yellow cards in last season’s Coppa Italia.

Fellow new arrivals Eric Bailly, Henrikh Mikhitaryan and Zlatan Ibrahimovic are all likely to feature, with the latter fresh from scoring the winner at Wembley a week ago though Chris Smalling is suspended.

Ibrahimovic is favourite to get the first goal of the game at 4.30 (33/10) with 888 Sport ahead of Marcus Rashford and Wayne Rooney who can each be backed at 5.5 (9/2) with the same firm.

Last season’s meetings between the sides were the first in their history, with both matches ending in home wins.

The South Coast club secured a 2-1 win last December before United ran out 3-1 winners at Old Trafford in May.

You can back both teams to score this time around at a price of 1.91 (10/11) with a variety of firms while Betfiar offer 2.2 (6/5) for there to be three or more goals in the game.
