Manchester United's push for a Champions League place continues to gather pace but they have a tricky Premier League assignment on the road tonight in Bournemouth.
Sunday's 3-1 win over Aston Villa sent the Red Devils three points clear in third place and they now have a five-point cushion on fifth-placed Liverpool.
Michael Carrick continues to work wonders as interim boss and if he can conjure up another victory on the south coast it will boost his chances of landing the job full-time.
AFC Bournemouth vs Manchester United top betting tips
Bournemouth haven't quite hit the heights of last term but they're still having a decent campaign and sit comfortably in mid-table.
Their form has picked up massively since the turn of the year, with a 3-2 defeat by leaders Arsenal in January their only Premier League defeat.
But they've been drawing too many games and four of their last five in the league have been stalemates.
Another draw tonight pays 29/10 at BetVictor but I'm going to back the scores to be level at half-time, which is priced at 6/4 with 888Sport.
This should be an open game and combining over 2.5 saves for keepers Senne Lammens and Djorde Petrovic pays 5/4 in a Bet365 bet builder.
Preston North End vs Stoke City
Preston North End are on a horrendous run in the EFL Championship and badly need a win when they host Stoke City tonight.
Paul Heckingbottom's side were in play-off contention a few weeks ago but they've won just once in their last 12 league games to tumble down the table.
Stoke's form isn't much better, with two wins in their last 13 in all competitions, but they're two points and four places above North End.
The Potters have scored three times in each of their last two games and claimed a 3-1 victory over Watford in their last outing. So they could be worth a punt tonight at decent odds of 37/20 with BetMGM.
We saw 12 corners when these sides drew 0-0 earlier in the season and that makes over 10.5 corners appealing tonight at 6/5 with Paddy Power.
Partick Thistle vs St Johnstone
There's a huge game in the SPFL Championship tonight as leaders St Johnstone take on second-placed Partick Thistle at Firhill.
Saints hold an eight-point lead over the Jags but have played a game more so a home win tonight would fire the title race wide open.
St Johnstone have won their last three while Partick's only victory in their last four games came via a last-minute winner against 10-man Morton.
That suggests the Perth men might have the edge tonight and they're favourites at 6/5 with most firms.
BTTS and over 2.5 goals has come up in all three meetings this season and combining those bets tonight pays 5/4 at SkyBet.

We've also seen an average of 13 corners across those three matches so over 10.5 flag kicks looks good value at 5/4 with Bet365.

Like the look of these two games this morning for goals kicking off at 11 & 12 and shouldn’t be far off.
Good luck 🤞
Full house. Quality 👏👏👏

Over 2.5 cards each @ 4/1 (Whill)
Nice win this morning so will have an interest bet on this.
Can see this being pretty tasty given the points situation at the top of the table and Partick in particular will go all out to win. Reverse fixture seen both teams end up with 4+ cards each and ref in charge averages around 4 cards per game. Would be surprised if each team didn’t end up with a couple of cards apiece.
Good luck 🤞
Not the game i was expecting,very low tempo at the moment🤔
Boom 💰
No luck with the earlier treble the U21 game let that down finishing 2-0 but I’ll have another go ,

Any Man Utd fans fancy them winning with BTTS tonight?
Tough game mate i can see a draw we’ve not done too well against them in recent seasons although we are a lot better than we were
13/5 the price is for it which is tempting. Obviously Bournemouth only been beaten twice at home in the league so far but I fancy United to turn them over. Or am I doing my best to talk myself out of it by digging into form and stats 😂
The bookies no what there doing mate they’ve tempted you in with the price for a united win 🤣 total goals could be the way to go reverse fixture finished 4-4 at old Trafford , although Bournemouth did have semenyo back then.
Spit it out,no point dithering about🧐
Looks like sound advice Deano mate. In saying that Bournemouths keeper has made a few worldie saves that first half to keep Utd at bay
Genoa v Udinese
2+cards each team 6/5
