Manchester United will be aiming to return to winning ways when they welcome Bournemouth to Old Trafford in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.
The 20-time English champions will enter the contest off the back of a 4-3 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur in the quarter-finals of the EFL Cup, but they were 2-1 winners over Manchester City in their last league match.
The Red Devils were staring at a third straight league defeat in the Manchester derby, but Bruno Fernandes levelled the scores from the penalty spot before Amad Diallo won it late on.
Man United are currently 13th in the Premier League table, six points behind fourth-placed Nottingham Forest, while Bournemouth are up in sixth, only three points off the Champions League spots.
Here, Sports Mole takes a look at the head-to-head record and past meetings between the two sides ahead of their contest at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon.

Head-to-head record
Previous meetings: 22
Man Utd wins: 14
Draws: 4
Bournemouth wins: 4
Man United have dominated the previous meetings between the two teams, posting 14 wins to Bournemouth's four, while there have also been four draws in this particular fixture.
The Red Devils were victorious in the first three matches between the two sides, which occurred in the FA Cup and League Cup, while Bournemouth's first-ever victory over the 20-time English champions proved to be a 2-0 success in the third round of the FA Cup back in January 1984.
The two teams did not meet between February 1989 and December 2015 due to Bournemouth's presence in the lower divisions, with their first league fixture taking place in the first half of the 2015-16 campaign.
The Cherries recorded a famous 2-1 success over Man United on that occasion, but they have only won twice against them since - a 1-0 victory at the Vitality Stadium in November 2019 and a 3-0 success at Old Trafford in December 2023.
Man United have won three of the last five meetings between the two sides, but Bournemouth secured four points from a possible six in their two league games in 2023-24.
The Red Devils have actually been victorious in seven of their last 10 Premier League encounters with the Cherries, though, demonstrating their dominance in this fixture.
Man United academy product Marcus Rashford is the leading goalscorer in this particular fixture, finding the back of the net on five occasions.
