Michael Owen: My prediction for Manchester United v Bournemouth clash
MICHAEL OWEN is expecting Manchester United to continue their impressive form against Bournemouth.
Manchester United celebrate EFL Cup win
Manchester United host Bournemouth in today's early kick-off (12.30pm) looking to extend their unbeaten run of 16 games in the Premier League.
And former United striker Owen is confident the Red Devils will ease past Eddie Howe's strugglers, who have lost their last four league outings.

Owen told BetVictor: "United have come a long way since their 4-0 mauling at Stamford Bridge back in October.
"And I can’t see their 16-game unbeaten league run coming to an end against a Bournemouth side who have lost their last four in the league."
Jose Mourinho's side have the chance to overtake Liverpool and Arsenal into the top four if they beat the Cherries.
But it could be short-lived as the Reds and the Gunners, who sit fifth and fourth respectively, battle it out in today's late fixture (5.30pm).
