After passing a late fitness test, Solanke starts for Bournemouth. Andoni Iraola makes a single change from last weekend's 2-0 win over Burnley - the Cherries' first Premier League victory of 2024 - with Mepham replacing the injured Marcos Senesi in the heart of defence. Adams is back on the bench for the hosts, though they continue to be without Max Aarons, Ryan Fredericks, Lloyd Kelly and James Hill.

It is 13th against 20th in the Premier League. Bournemouth, who are 11 points clear of the relegation zone, will look to extend that gap and move closer to the top half with victory over their despondent opponents. Fresh from a 6-0 home drubbing by Arsenal, United are 11 points from safety, and must start to get wins on the board if they are to have any chance of completing a great escape.
