Rashford recovers from knock as Solskjaer names unchanged starting XI

Gameweek 11 kicks off at a windswept Vitality Stadium this lunchtime, with Manchester United the visitors to Bournemouth.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has named an unchanged starting XI to the United side who overcame Norwich City last weekend.

The Red Devils have lost just once in their last eight matches in all competitions, with last Sunday’s success at Carrow Road eye-catching from an attacking perspective.

This match on the south coast will perhaps be a truer test for many of their Fantasy assets, with the Canaries having been a very obliging defence in 2019/20.

United will be looking to the likes of Anthony Martial (£7.6m) to deliver against the Cherries, with the Frenchman yet to register a blank when he has started in the league this year.

Marcus Rashford (£8.5m) will be aiming to deliver yet another goalscoring performance to build on successive nine-points hauls and his midweek brace against Chelsea in the Carabao Cup. 

Yet whilst United will be aiming to continue their momentum, they will be coming up against a Bournemouth side who have been keeping it exceptionally tight at the back in recent weeks.

The Cherries will be looking to continue the promising defensive form that has seen them keep successive clean sheets in the top flight.

Eddie Howe’s side have been suffering a drought in front of goal of late, however.

Failure to score against United in the lunchtime kick-off would mark a fourth consecutive blank for Bournemouth’s frontline, though Howe has persisted in his faith towards striking duo Callum Wilson (£7.9m) and Josh King (£6.3m).

Harry Wilson (£6.0m) has also been handed a spot in the starting XI in a bid to revitalise the Cherries’ attacking fortunes. 

His inclusion marks the only charge to the Bournemouth side who laboured to a 0-0 draw against Watford at Vicarage Road last weekend, with Arnaut Danjuma Groeneveld (£5.8m) dropping to the bench. 

Bournemouth XI (4-4-2): Ramsdale; Smith, S.Cook, Ake, Rico, H.Wilson, Lerma, Billing, Fraser; C.Wilson, King. 

Manchester United XI (4-2-3-1): De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Maguire, Lindelof, Young; McTominay, Fred; Pereira, James, Rashford; Martial.

        I have McGinn and looking to move out. Great consistent player but seems to have dropped back positionally last few games allowing Grealish to use the space. I will probably just downgrade to allow bigger fish in next week. When they get city and pool out the way their fixtures still look generally quite tough for a while.

                Terrible pivot. Pogba can't defend. If you want to get the best out of Pogba you can't give him too much defensive responsibility. Far better for Utd to push Pogba forward behind the front three and have someone like Tuanzebe in next to McTominay.

          It's a dullard transfer for me this week, Greenwood to Connolly. I'm mainly hoping for returns from him this week against Norwich.

          Good luck everyone.

              Exactly. He only cost me the extra 0.3 I had in the bank. I figured it was worth it to have another sub who actually plays and hopefully he could be a really positive differential this week.

            Which is odd as his body is also quite short.
