Bournemouth are flying high with their second 3-0 Old Trafford win in two years lifting them all the way up to fifth in the Premier League, just three points off the Champions League places. The Cherries are unbeaten in their last five, winning four of them, with the one draw against Southampton seeing them equalise in the 90th minute.

Liverpool have made an impressive start to the season under Arne Slot who replaced Jurgen Klopp in the summer. The Dutchman has led the Reds to the summit of the Premier League table and are four points clear of second-placed Chelsea who have played a game more.
