Ole Gunnar Solskjær may make a few alterations as the Manchester United manager balances knocks and a hectic fixture schedule.

Solskjær revealed Axel Tuanzebe is set to miss the rest of the season through injury, with fellow defender Phil Jones a few weeks away from resuming training with an issue of his own.

Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe will make late calls on the fitness of a couple of unnamed players. Top scorer Callum Wilson remains unavailable as he completes a two-match ban having collected his 10th booking of the season.
