Every Premier League club’s record in early kick-offs
This weekend’s match in the Premier League sees Manchester United take on Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium.
You can listen to full commentary of Bournemouth vs Manchester United LIVE on talkSPORT – kick-off 12:30pm on Saturday.
After going months without an away win, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men have found their mojo and have won three on the road in less than a week.
They ended their wretched run with a win at Partizan Belgrade in the Europa League on October 24 before beating Norwich 3-1 in the Premier League last weekend.
And perhaps most impressive of all, Man United put an end to Chelsea’s seven-game winning streak with a 2-1 triumph at Stamford Bridge in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday – Marcus Rashford scoring both goals, including an incredible ‘Cristiano Ronaldo-esque’ free-kick.
