Rotation continues as Cherries head to Manchester - Predicted team

Bournemouth Echo · By Alexander Smith

Bournemouth head to Old Trafford this weekend, and there will no doubt be further changes to the team, but how many will the boss look to make as his side aims to continue their good form against Manchester United.

The Daily Echo predicts how the Cherries will line up.

Michele Di Gregorio was a surprise inclusion against Milan, but he’s set to play again on Wednesday in the League Cup and I anticipate Rose will go back to his number one, Djordje Petrovic.

Rose has rotated his back four well in the past three games, but I think he’ll go for his first choice four for much of the season so far.

That will see Adrien Truffert start at left back, with Adam Smith returning to the side to captain the team from right back.

Antonio Silva and James Hill will partner at centre back.

The United midfield has looked fragile in recent weeks, and it will be interesting to see how Rose aims to exploit that.

Ryan Christie was very good against Milan, but I think Rose might go back to the partnership of Tyler Adams and Lewis Cook that started last weekend against Sunderland to ensure they can control the centre of the park.

Ben Gannon-Doak was excellent in the Europa League, and I feel it will be a little harsh to leave him out again, but Rayan will, I believe, come back in for him.

Marcus Tavernier is on top form and he’ll start on the other wing, while I think Justin Kluivert will start again in the number ten, behind Evanilson who will lead the line.

Full team: Petrovic; Truffert, Silva, Hill, Smith; Adams, Cook; Tavernier, Kluivert, Rayan; Evanilson.
