There is a huge clash between Manchester United and Bournemouth on the horizon, with both sides looking to kick on after a slow start to the Premier League season

The Premier League action continues on Sunday, with two of the teams that have struggled at the start of the campaign facing off in pursuit of three important points.

It's Manchester United that will play host to Bournemouth, in a clash that could have some great significance for how the table looks at the end of the weekend.

The Red Devils have been sluggish so far under Michael Carrick this season, winning just one of the opening seven games, which all looked favorable for the side when the fixtures were drawn in the summer. That has put pressure on the manager to turn things around, with doubts surrounding the players clearly not helping his case.

United has an interesting hurdle to clear if the team is to push on, with Bournemouth making the visit to Old Trafford in a similar position in the league. The Cherries have also won just once, picking up six points from seven games, setting up an encounter that could see the visitors leapfrog the hosts.

With both teams hoping a victory could kickstart their season, here's a look at everything you need to know ahead of United vs. Bournemouth.

When is kick-off?

Manchester United vs. Bournemouth is scheduled for 2 pm UK time (GMT). This means it will be played at 7 am Pacific Time and 10 a.m. Eastern Time for viewers in the United States.

There is usually a five-hour time difference between the United Kingdom and the East Coast of America, but the gap is just four hours at the moment, after the clocks went back an hour in the United Kingdom during the early hours of Sunday morning.

TV channel and live stream details

For supporters in the U.K., the match between United and Bournemouth will be available to watch on Sky Sports Main Event, Sky Sports Ultra HD, and Sky Sports+.

A live stream of all the action will be on Sky Go or NOW TV, all of which require a valid subscription to follow along.

As for fans in the U.S., NBC and Peacock will be the go-to places to watch along for an intriguing challenge for both sides at Old Trafford.

Early team news and injury updates

Michael Carrick could be without a host of players when his side returns to Old Trafford on Sunday, testing his squad's full capability once again. In good news for the manager, Ayden Heaven is available after an illness, while Leny Yoro is available after missing the Champions League clash midweek due to suspension.

There are a few doubts, with Lisandro Martinez facing a race against time to be fit and available for the match. Marcus Rashford is another who may be available if he has made enough progress in recovering from a hip issue. Meanwhile, the likes of Luke Shaw, Benjamin Sesko, Kobbie Mainoo, Patrick Dorgu, and Manuel Ugarte are all unavailable as they deal with longer-term concerns.

Bournemouth could be boosted by the return of Eli Junior Kroupi at Old Trafford, after the striker made his return to team training during the week. While a start appears unlikely for the Frenchman, he could be available from the bench to provide a further threat up front.

There are concerns that Alex Scott, Julian Araujo, and Alex Toth will all be unavailable for the Cherries, which comes as a slight blow for the team.
