Predicted XI: The AFCB 11 To BEAT Manchester United Again At Old Trafford

Key players were rested and rotated in Cherries dominant 3-0 victory over AC Milan on Thursday, meaning the squad will be fresh and ready to start off on the front foot tomorrow. Junior Kroupi could be back in the matchday squad, which bolsters Marco Rose's options even more and even create some selection headaches.

GK: Djordje Petrovic: After being rested on Thursday, Petrovic should come straight back into the squad tomorrow. It is reassuring that Michele Di Gregorio is still yet to concede for AFC Bournemouth, but the Serbian has kept 2 clean sheets in his last 2 games, and hopefully that continues tomorrow. 

LB: Adrien Truffert: The French international said that not starting last Thursday against Sturm Graz meant he lost a bit of rhythm against Sunderland, but looked back to his best on Thursday and will need that to continue to keep Bryan Mbeumo quiet for Manchester United.

CB: Antonio Silva: The 22 year old is already looking like a top quality centre back for AFC Bournemouth, and will no doubt be back in the Portugal NT soon. After a poor display against Chelsea, Silva has looked confident and imposing at the back for AFCB in the last 3 games. 

CB: James Hill: Thursday showed the immense quality that James Hill shows both at right back and centre back, playing 45 minutes in both positions against AC Milan. The partnership he is building with Silva is becoming better by the game.

RB: Adam Smith: Smith got a much deserved rest against Milan, and should now be fully recovered and fresh to defend either Matheus Cunha or Amad Diallo off the left for the hosts. 

6: Tyler Adams: The USMNT captain is turning out to be one of AFCB's most reliable midfielders, and will be a key part to Bournemouth dominating the midfield.

8: Lewis Cook: After only playing half an hour on Thursday, Cook should start in the 8 instead of Ryan Christie, who played the full 90. Cook has a good track record at Old Trafford, so long may that continue. 

10: Justin Kluivert: The 27 year old has 3 goals in his last 3 starts for AFCB, and only played an hour on Thursday. With Junior Kroupi set to be back on the bench, minutes can be managed for the Dutchman again.

LW: Marcus Tavernier: The baseball celebration was out again this week, and with Tavernier in the form of his AFCB career so far, he needs to be playing off the left hand side to run Diogo Dalot ragged. 

RW: Rayan: Rayan was also rested in midweek, and will be keen to impress as Ben Gannon-Doak is starting to find his feet in red and black. The Brazilian will be one to watch out for against a leaky Manchester United defence. 

ST: Evanilson: No words needed, Evanilson cannot be dropped, simple.
