AFC Bournemouth are targeting their first win in five matches and their first goal in four fixtures.

Manchester United are seeking to build on last weekend's 3-1 victory at Norwich City, which halted their own four-match winless run.

Team news

Eddie Howe says he has no fresh injury concerns with Junior Stanislas and David Brooks remaining sidelined for AFC Bournemouth.

Midfielder Dan Gosling (hip), however, is closing in on a return and could be in contention for the visit of Manchester United.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will assess the fitness of Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof and Marcus Rashford ahead of Saturday's lunchtime kick-off.

The match comes too early for Axel Tuanzebe, Luke Shaw and Nemanja Matic, however, with Solskjaer confirming they will not be part of the travelling squad.

AFC Bournemouth last went four league matches without a goal in March 2012.

Of the 95 players who have had 10 or more shots this season, Callum Wilson has hit the highest percentage of his attempts on target, with 69 per cent, or 11 shots out of 16.

Anthony Martial has scored or set up a goal in each of his four starts this season, netting three times and providing one assist. In his last 20 starts in the Premier League, he has 13 goals and three assists.
