Manchester United were fortunate to be allowed back into the game against Liverpool last time out, and naivety cost them the game against Chelsea before that. However, in Bournemouth they face an opponent of lesser quality, and the way they took the lead in both of the previous games must give them hope. Bournemouth's last four home games have produced three victories, but they were all against teams fighting relegation (Palace, Everton, Luton and Sheffield United, who they drew with 2-2). Manchester United, for all their faults, are a step-up from that level. Coupled with Bournemouth losing four out of five at home against teams in the top six, I think a play on a United win represents value.

Preston still have a faint hope of making the play-offs, and have scored eight times in their last three matches. Norwich rarely keep clean sheets away from home, but usually score themselves. Their last five away matches have seen them concede nine goals, and over the season Norwich's away games average 3.62 goals a game. Preston's matches average 3.19 goals per game over the season. I think over 2.5 goals is the play in this game.
