GOAL! Man Utd 0-3 BOURNEMOUTH!

It's THREE!

We said that Bournemouth had never won at Old Trafford before, but they surely will now!

It's a simple one, and it's Senesi losing his man insde the box, and thumping a header into a vacant near post and the Cherries are on the verge of history!

Cherries make another change

The crowd are quite literally stunned.

So many shocked faces at Old Trafford, and you can really understand why.

They've been all over Bournemouth in this half, but as has been the story all season, they just can't put it in the back of the net.

Changes now for the Cherries, and Sinisterra comes on for Kluivert.

16:29, 68'

bournemouth.png

GOAL! Man Utd 0-2 Bournemouth!

It's not 1-0 anymore!

Not one minute later, Billing has it in the back of the net!

It's a sumptuous ball in from Tavernier from the left, and the midfielder comes steaming onto it in a complete physicaly mimatch with Shaw and absolutely SLAMS it into the back of the net.

When it isn't going your way, it really doesn't - and right now Ten Hag won't be able to tell you how his side aren't at least level.

16:29, 67'
man_utd.png
bournemouth.png

Close from Dalot

Dalot smashes it into the side-netting after a good move from United down the right.

It's a good cross-field pass, before he exchanges the ball with Antony but can't find the back of the net.

Hojlund is irate in the middle, with the Dane missing a good chance inside the box himself just a moment before, his low effort from the edge of the box well blocked.

All United, but still 1-0 to Bournemouth at Old Trafford.

Cooper booked

Steve Cooper has got himself booked for something he said to the referee from inside his technical area.

He's still got the backing of the supporters by the sounds of things at Molineux, but he and his side are looking at just the one point from this one as things stand.

16:24, 63'

burnley.png

Burnley doing brilliantly to hold on

De Zerbi has made a couple more changes and he is clearly not impressed by his side.

First Mitoma and now Ferguson has a chance on the Burnley goal, but still the visitors are holding firm.

They've conceded more than two a game on average so far, but this could be a massive result should they hold on.

Cherries make a change

Sub for the visitors, and it's Semenyo off for Billing.

16:19, 58'
man_utd.png
bournemouth.png

Much better from United

The corner is to the edge of the boc, but Antony's clipped ball doesn't quite cut the mustard.

Garnacho keeps it alive out on the left, though, and his ball swung in for Hojlund is cut out for yet ANOTHER corner.

IT finds McTominay in the box but his header is off target, and then Antony clips it into the melee and out for a goal kick.

Much, much better from United.

16:17, 56'
substitution.png
man_utd.png

Hojlund is on!

Well now, looks like Ten Hag is about to shuffle his pack.

Hojlund is stripped and ready to come on, and you would expect it's Martial to make way.

It is Martial who makes way just before another corner again to United!

16:16, 55'
wolverhampton.png
nottingham_forest.png

Off the bar!

Anthony Elanga hits the crossbar from about eight yeards out!

The flag went up but it was a narrow one, and Forest are really pressing to restore their lead!

Booking at Bramall Lane

Another booking at Bramall Lane after Ethan Pinnock gets a bit of a boot to the face.

William Osula has his name taken by the referee as teh defender receives some attention.

16:14, 52'
man_utd.png
bournemouth.png

All United so far

Garnacho puts a brilliant ball in from the edge of the box on the left to Maguire at the back post.

The in-form defender has stayed up and cushions it down into the centre of the box, but Bournemouth hack it clear as Shaw has a lunge.

bournemouth.png

Bournemouth happy to defend

A succession of corners for United, but Neto still yet to be tested really.

Bournemouth did however soak up all the pressure brilliantly at the start of the first half, and have shown that they are more than willing to do just that again in the second.

They'll also know that United struggled under the counter when going through a similar barrage before, so won't be panicking just yet.

16:10, 48'
man_utd.png
bournemouth.png

Much better from United

Well United are already showing that they've got a bit more bite this half.

Garnacho fronts up against Smith at right back, but is alwasy moving away from goal.

It might just be the first time he's really run at the defence in earnest, and he's already showing a bit more intesity.

Fernandes has the best chance of the half already, though, after the ball is pulled back to him at the edge of the box, but it's out for a corner.

man_utd.png
bournemouth.png

No changes at the break to report

No changes at the break despite Hojlund and Rashford out warming up.

Martial will be hoping to do something soon in this half, after a quiet opening 45 minutes from him.

16:07, 46'
man_utd.png
bournemouth.png

Underway once again!

And just in time, we're back underway at Old Trafford!

Brighton are already three into the second half against Burnley and Lallana and Dahoud are off as De Zerbi looks to inject some intensity into hsi side in a massive second half.

shefield_utd.png
brentford.png

And finally to Bramall Lane

Chris Wilder's return to the club is halfway to being kick-started.

The Blades are 1-0 up against a very good Brentford side, who could have gone down to 10 after Onyeka's poor challenge, but after a review there was no red card.

McAtee's spectacular finish from distance has been the difference, though, and now it's all about whether the Blades can hold on!

Down to the Amex!

Burnley are halfway to one of the great smash and grab jobs.

They were under the pump throughout the first half, but Odobert the French youth international has got himself on the scoresheet with a brilliant individual striker.

Cutting in off the left, he dropped a shoulder and sent one curling into the top corner!

Brighton's run of conceding continues, but will they be able to fight back?

HT: Cherries go in 1-0 up

Half-time at Old Trafford!

The hosts go in 1-0 down after a stunning start from a Solanke-inspired Bournemouth, and it could have been two really.

United second best at the moment, and a big, big team talk once again for Ten Hag.

man_utd.png
bournemouth.png

Poor in defence from United

We're nearing half-time now at Old Trafford and United are bouncing back again after that chance to Solanke.

It hasn't been the most impressive showing from the home side, and for all their bluster going forward, they have been so suscpetible to the long ball over the top.

Half-time at Brighton and at Bramall Lane now, and Forest have just missed a golden chance to go 2-1 up at Wolves.

15:49, 45'
shefield_utd.png
brentford.png

GOAL at Bramall Lane...

And a huge goal at Bramall Lane!

It's McAtee who gets the hosts ahead with a brilliant curled effort to put the Blades 1-0 up and Chris Wilder is loving it - who is streaming down the touchline in celebration!

15:46, 45'
brighton.png
burnley.png

GOAL at the Amex...

Forest are holding on now, and they'll do well to make it to the break on level terms after Cunha's opener.

Sheffield United have looked a litle more organised today against Brentford, although there's not much in terms of attacking output just yet from teh wide areas that we know Chris Wilder likes.

Burnley might be without Koleosho today, but they've certainly held on well - and they've even gone ahead!

Odobert - the man in for the Italian - puts it into the back of the net from the edge of the box via deflection!

Against the run of play, but Burnley in front at the Amex!

15:44, 42'
injury.png
man_utd.png

Garnacho is down hurt

United have Garnacho down holding his face now, and it looks a painful one after an arm to the face from Smith.

Didn't look much in it to be honest, but it's a sore one none the less that has the Argentine in some discomfort.

The physios are on making sure that nothing is broken, and Rashford gets a warm welcome as he ventures out for a warm up.

15:42, 40'
man_utd.png
bournemouth.png

Should be 2-0!

He's everywhere right now!

United are trying to pass their way out again, but McTominay's pass is a poor one.

Instantly Bournemouth counter, and it's one simple ball through the back line and Solanke is through on goal.

it's an acute angle but he looks to have made it 2-0, only for the ball to come off the post - a lick of paint away from a second for the English forward!

15:41, 38'
man_utd.png
bournemouth.png

Now Solanke is back helping out near his own box

United fans are booing around the ground as Solanke goes down near the edge of his own box.

He's back helping his side defend but the striker gets his body across Amrabat and plunges to the floor with Maguire looking to burst through on goal.

You can understand why the fans aren't so happy with the foul being claled, but it was clever from the forward putting his body on the line.

15:38, 35'
man_utd.png
bournemouth.png

Good play from Solanke

United are looking to finish this half strongly as we enter the final ten minutes.

Martial though squanders a decent opportunity letting fly from the edge of the box - there were bodies around him, but nobody making a run into the box.

Bournemouth go straight up the other end, and Solanke does fantastically to hold off Shaw and win a foul in a decent area...

15:36, 32'
wolverhampton.png
nottingham_forest.png

Another GOAL at Molineux...

Nottingham Forests's lead didn't last long, and Wolves are back on level pegging!

Matheus Cunha gets the hosts back in the game to make it 1-1 to put the pressure back on Cooper's side.

Still level in the other two games, but Brighton are knocking on the Burnley door.

yellow_card.png
bournemouth.png

Tavernier booked

A first booking of the day as well as Tavernier sees yellow for time-wasting?

We've barely had a half hour already.

15:31, 28'
man_utd.png
bournemouth.png

Good battle on the United left

Semenyo has the beating of Reguilon so far today, wriggling free from the Tottenham loanee once again, but the Spaniard gets away with one as the foul is called against the Cherries forward.

Good battle, that, especially so early on in the game.

15:28, 25'
man_utd.png
bournemouth.png

DISALLOWED GOAL

Have Bournemouth got a second?!

It would appear not as the flag goes up for offside after Marcus Tavernier pokes home from close range.

The cross comes in from the left-hand side, and Onana does well to save Solanke's header, but he can only palm away as far as Tavernier.

But the flag does rightly go up after the former Liverpool forward's effort, with Solanke visibly offside from the cross.

A warning to United though!

15:25, 22'
man_utd.png
bournemouth.png

Bournemouth growing in confidence again

Bournemouth are becoming a little bit more adventurous of late now that they've weathered the worst of the Mna United storm.

Brighton are beginng to turn the screw on Burnley, while Sheffield United have already had a man in the book.

Still a long way to go for Forest, who do have the lead, but have not got the best record in closing out wins after scoring the first goal this season...

15:21, 18'
man_utd.png
bournemouth.png

Simmering down a touch now...

Things have just simmered down a tiny bit as the shock of that first goal begins to fade and the Cherries are starting to creep out of their own box.

A brilliant ball over the finds Solanke inside the box, but he does well to hold off Shaw and recycle the ball instead of testing Onana.

Few more touches on the ball from the visitors now, which won't go amiss as they look tor egain their breath...

15:17, 15'
wolverhampton.png
nottingham_forest.png

GOAL at Molineux...

We've had some very vocal support for Cooper from Forest fans at Wolves, and it seems to be doing the trick, with Harry toffolo getting the Tricky Trees ahead after just 15 minutes-or-so at Molineux.

All-square still in the other two games, with Brighton hosting Burnley and Brentford away to Sheffield United.

15:15, 13'
man_utd.png
bournemouth.png

Another corner to United

So United are behind, but they've bounced back really well, and are dominating possession and territory.

The most recent attack sees McTominay win a corner with a shot from outside the box, but Fernandes cross is too deep and Maguire can't get any purchase on it.

Cherries look for the counter, but United stop them short.

United already penning Bournemouth in

It was a sluggish start, but it's all United at the moment.

They seem to be targeting the right-hand side of the Cherries defence and it keeps pinging over that side from deep.

Shaw now puts a ball into the box, but Bournemouth skipper Neto claims well.

Bournemouth ahead, but United are already penning them in in the hunt for an equaliser.

man_utd.png
bournemouth.png

What a start at Old Trafford!

Well now, how do United react from here?

They've got a chance from a corner now, after Reguilon tries to pick out Fernandes with a cute cut back inside the box.

It goes short to Garnacho whose cross is well blocked.

The ball then comes back in from deep but Neto does fantastically to deny Maguire a header dipping just below the bar.

It's a great start at Old Trafford!

man_utd.png
bournemouth.png

GOAL! Man Utd 0-1 Bournemouth!

Solanke gets his first ever goal against United inside five minutes.

It's a poor ball out from Reguilon from the left of the back four which is pounced upon in midfield.

The Cherries take it out to the right-hand side of the box and put a cimple ball across the box, where Solanke the former Liverpool man is waiting on the spot to poke home from close range!

man_utd.png
bournemouth.png

Jittery start for Onana

Well Solanke is already down in the box after just a minute, but there are no claims for a penalty.

A short pass back for Onana from Shaw sees a coming together between the goalkeeper and striker, but there's nothing coming from it.

Hardly what United fans will want to see to settle the nerves!

Underway around the grounds

We're live in each of our four games across the country, too.

Reminder, we'll be bringing you updates from all the 3pm kick-offs.

Dark, dark Old Trafford

It's only 3pm but it looks like we're the late kick-off here - it's so dark at Old Trafford under the grey clouds and the seasonal weather.

The spotlights are on around the ground as the players stand in the rain, waiting to exchange pleasantries.

man_utd.png
bournemouth.png

They're ready to go!

Ths hosts look very relaxed in the tunnel at the moment, lounging against the wall as they wait for the rest of their team-mates to join them.

Bournemouth, on the other hand, are chomping at the bit stood at attention waiting for the nod to make their way out into what sounds like a booming Old Trafford.

man_utd.png

All kicking off at Old Trafford

It's all kicking off at Old Trafford before the game.

Not only is there a special show from the mascot -Fred the Red - but there's a head of state in attendance too!

Iceland's president and a giant Red Devil - we've got ourselves the beginnings of a great dinner party going here.

man_utd.png
bournemouth.png

The visitors have been out there too going through the gears ahead of kick-off, which is a little under 10 minutes away now.

It's a grey, wet and chilly Old Trafford awaiting these two teams - so no surprises to see a few gloves and snoods out there today.

man_utd.png

A very cold Rashford is out warming up

A very cold looking Rashford has been out there getting warm.

He's on the bench once again, after Ten Hag hinted that he could miss out entirely after struggling with an illness in midweek.

Cherries on a run against UCL teams

As we've seen, Bournemouth are in pretty good nick right now, but they're actually got a pretty good record against sides that finished in the top four the season before.

They've won three in their last six such games, beating Liverpool last March and Spurs in May, and beat Newcastle last month - it took them 33 games to manage the same feat last!

Can they make it four this afternoon?

Martial has the chance 'to prove' his ability today

For those of you wondering why United's big summer signing has been dropped to the bench, Ten Hag has revealed it's to give Hojlund a rest.

But it's a big chance for Martial, who the Red Devils manager insists has a chance 'to prove' himself after a 'less good' performance against Newcastle.

Check out the Dutchman's comments below.

So Rashford is out on the bench, with £72m man Hojlund joining him and Varane still left out in favour of Shaw and Maguire.

What do we make of that line-up United fans?

Two changes for the hosts

So Rashford does make the bench despite illness confirmed by Ten Hag, but the Red DEvils make two changes.

Out comes Hojlund for Martial, and Lindelof makes way for Reguilon at left back.

For the Cherries Tavernier is back in the side in a slight tweak from Iraola, with Sinisterra back on the bench after facing Palace in midweek.

Good memories for Bournemouth...

Not a bad memory to have in the back of your mind when you head to Old Trafford...

shefield_utd.png

Chris Wilder didn't have the best return to Sheffield United taking on Liverpool in a 2-0 defeat with the Reds flying high in second at the moment.

But his side have received something of a boost this week with Brentford on their way up for a 3pm clash.

Bryan Mbeumo is facing some time on the sidelines after picking up an injury, with the Bees now without one of their more potent attacking stars.

You can read more on that one ahead of this afternoon's game with Sheffield United below.

All smiles down at Bournemouth!

The Cherries have been in great form at the moment, despite a relatively rough start to life under Iraola.

Bournemouth have only lost once in their last six Premier League games, winning four and drawing one, with that tie coming against Manchester City (6-1).

In that run they've beaten Burnley, Newcastle, Sheffield United and Crystal Palace, holding third-placed Aston Villa to a 2-2 draw.

With United struggling for form of late, this could be an interesting clash indeed!

Cooper under pressure?

We'll be turning back to United just shortly, but one of the biggest stories from the week is brewing away down in Nottingham.

Steve Cooper - who took the club to the top-flight and survived last sason's relegation battle - is facing reported pressure on his position at the helm.

But do the fans share the reports feelings of their owner, Evangelos Marinakis?

Check out RIATH AL-SAMARRAI'S comment below.

Plenty of action coming up for you

So aside from our headline billing for today, we've also got another three games from across the country.

Brighton take on Burnley down on the South Coast, whie Wolves play host to Nottingham Forest over at Molineux, before we travel a little further north to Sheffield, as the Blades face Brentford at Bramall Lane.

It's a hefty day with plenty going on - and that's all before Arsenal's trip to Aston Villa, with the Gunners looking to become the first team since, well, Arsenal, to beat Villa at Villa Park.

We'll also be bringing you coverage of that one later on, with kick-off scheduled for 5.30pm.
