The Premier League will kick-start this weekend with league high flyers AFC Bournemouth welcoming a Manchester United side that is slowly churning out its best, at the Dean Court on Saturday.
The Eddie Howe side has made its best-ever start to their Premier League with the team sitting pretty in 6th with 20 points, 3 points ahead of Manchester United and 6 points below league leaders Manchester City.
Jose Mourinho and his side have finally started to find a rhythm with a little bit of French flamboyance of Paul Pogba and Anthony Martial, both of whom have shown a really menacing form of late.
