Bournemouth will hope to halt their slide towards a bottom-half finish as they welcome struggling Manchester United to the Vitality Stadium.

Having once harboured hopes of a top-five finish, Bournemouth have won just once in their last eight Premier League outings to harm their chances of securing European football next season.

Their visitors aren’t exactly in great form themselves, though, with Ruben Amorim’s side fortunate for the plight of the promoted sides in preventing them from having to look over their shoulder at those below.

The Europa League semi-final is surely now their focus, but this offers an opportunity for Manchester United to build momentum ahead of Thursday’s first leg in Bilbao.

Here’s everything you need to know.

When is Bournemouth vs Manchester United?

Bournemouth vs Manchester United is due to kick off at 2pm BST on Sunday 27 April at the Vitality Stadium in Bournemouth.
