Follow Mail Sport's live blog for all the latest scores, team news and updates as Manchester United host Bournemouth at Old Trafford in Premier League action. Plus get updates from the rest of Saturday's 3pm kick-offs.

All smiles down at Bournemouth!

The Cherries have been in great form at the moment, despite a relatively rough start to life under Iraola.

Bournemouth have only lost once in their last six Premier League games, winning four and drawing one, with that tie coming against Manchester City (6-1).

In that run they've beaten Burnley, Newcastle, Sheffield United and Crystal Palace, holding third-placed Aston Villa to a 2-2 draw.

With United struggling for form of late, this could be an interesting clash indeed!

Red Devils were in nice and early today

The Red Devils were in nice and early getting ready for action against the in-form Cherries this afternoon...

Cooper under pressure?

We'll be turning back to United just shortly, but one of the biggest stories from the week is brewing away down in Nottingham.

Steve Cooper - who took the club to the top-flight and survived last sason's relegation battle - is facing reported pressure on his position at the helm.

But do the fans share the reports feelings of their owner, Evangelos Marinakis?

Plenty of action coming up for you

So aside from our headline billing for today, we've also got another three games from across the country.

Brighton take on Burnley down on the South Coast, whie Wolves play host to Nottingham Forest over at Molineux, before we travel a little further north to Sheffield, as the Blades face Brentford at Bramall Lane.

It's a hefty day with plenty going on - and that's all before Arsenal's trip to Aston Villa, with the Gunners looking to become the first team since, well, Arsenal, to beat Villa at Villa Park.

We'll also be bringing you coverage of that one later on, with kick-off scheduled for 5.30pm.

Great week at Old Trafford already

In addition to that win against Chelsea in midweek which will have done wonders for confidence ahead of today's clash, it was a great week at Old Trafford.

The Red Devils picked up not one but two gongs on an individual level, with Ten Hag and Maguire winning Manager and Player of the Month awards.

Check that one out at the link below.

Will Rashford make the side?

He's come under fire in recent weeks for his poor form, but could United be without Rashford today?

The England man came off the bench against Chelsea a few days ago, but he might not even make the subs, as Erik ten Hag confirms he has been struggling with illness.
