Examine predictions, team news and betting tips for the Premier League match between Bournemouth and Manchester United on Sunday 27th April (2pm BST).
Tip 1
Only Liverpool have been awarded more penalties this season in the Premier League than Bournemouth, who carry a tally of seven and have themselves conceded four.
In the opposing corner, United have both won and given away three apiece, including one which Justin Kluivert converted at the Theatre of Dreams before Christmas.
Peter Bankes takes control of this fixture – his 21st top flight match this term. Over this sample he’s awarding a penalty every three games on average and was also the official to help make history last November when the aforementioned Kluivert scored a penalty hat-trick at Molineux in Bournemouth’s 4-2 win.

Tip 2
At this point, the Red Devils will be counting down the games until the end of the season in order to regroup and go again with a pre-season, tactical overhaul and further recruitment needed under Ruben Amorim.
This game is somewhat of a dead-rubber, even if Bournemouth still have ambitions of breaking the top seven and achieving European football for next season – as ambitious as that might be given Villa’s points tally.
However, the Cherries have delighted their fans all season without many expectations surrounding them and Andoni Iraola isn’t the kind of manager to rest on his laurels.
Bournemouth have already pumped United at Old Trafford this season when coming away with a 3-0 victory last December, and given the fact that three of the Red Devils’ last four losses have come without reply, plus how Bournemouth have lost only one of their last four encounters with the faded giants, I like the hosts’ chances to win to nil on Sunday.

Although Crystal Palace were reduced to 10 men for a whole 45 minutes of football, Andoni Iraola’s men were unable to break down their opponents and were forced to settle for a point at Selhurst Park last Saturday afternoon.
The Cherries have just one absentee for this visit, with centre forward Enes Unal sidelined until October with a cruciate ligament tear.
Bournemouth Predicted XI: Arizzibalaga; Smith, Zabarnyi, Huijsen, Kerkez; Scott, Adams; Semenyo, Kluivert, Ouattara; Evanilson.
Following their dramatic 5-4 win over Lyon at Old Trafford in the Europa League, United were unable to carry any sort of momentum into their away clash at Molineux, where Wolves handed them a 1-0 defeat.
Ruben Amorim has as many as four out injured for United’s trip down to the south coast, as Lisandro Martinez, Amad Diallo and Ayden Heaven have been ruled out, while Joshua Zirzkee is touch-and-go with a thigh problem.
Man United Predicted XI: Onana; Mazraoui, Maguire, Yoro; Dalot, Ugarte, Eriksen, Dorgu; Garnacho, Fernandes; Hojlund.
