The Premier League season is in full swing with just seven games left to end.
Defending champions Manchester City currently sit third in the table, just one point clear of Arsenal at the top of the table and Liverpool in second. They will be keen to host a relegation zone Luton Town side and will be hoping to add another three points to continue the pressure on their title rivals.
In the last round of the league, Manchester City visited Crystal Palace, won 4-2 with an excellent performance, extending their unbeaten run to a staggering 16 games (12 wins) and staying firmly in third place with 70 points.
It is worth mentioning that Manchester City has won 11 wins and drawn 5 of 16 Premier League home games this season and remains unbeaten.
Against a Luton side with a poor away record, Manchester City will be looking to extend their unbeaten run at home to 27 games (21 wins) since facing Everton in December 2022.
In addition, City's 23-year-old midfielder Phil Foden has been in hot form this season, scoring a 2-2 equaliser against Real Madrid in midweek and a hat-trick against Aston Villa last week.
He confidently said: "My goalscoring form seems to be good this year. When you score, your confidence is very high. ”
Looking back at the last meeting (December last year), Manchester City scored two goals in three minutes in the second half to defeat Luton Town 2-1 after conceding a goal first. The two teams also met in the fifth round of the FA Cup, with Manchester City winning 6-2 thanks to Erling Haaland's heroic performance.
Luton Town have six games remaining and are in desperate need of a run to avoid relegation. They beat Bournemouth 2-1 at home in the last round to end a 10-game winless run and are currently 18th with 25 points.
However, it remains to be seen if they can pull off another miracle against a strong Manchester City side.
The city's powerhouse "Red Devils" Manchester United will face the desireless "Cherry" Bournemouth in the league this weekend, and this game is undoubtedly a great opportunity for Manchester United to get rid of the haze of three consecutive wins.
Manchester United's recent league run has not been ideal, with just one win in their last six league games. With the same 31 rounds played, they are already 11 points behind fourth-placed Tottenham, who are already out of reach.
However, due to the Champions League overhaul next season, the top two countries in the league will receive an additional Champions League qualification, while the Premier League is currently tied for second place with the Bundesliga.
This means that the fifth-placed team in the Premier League this season still has a chance to qualify for the Champions League.
Although United are currently sixth, they are 11 points behind fifth-placed Aston Villa with a game in hand, and are all but certain to miss out on a top-five finish.
However, major British media have recently reported that even if Manchester United finish sixth, they still have a chance to qualify for next season's Champions League, but this needs to meet three conditions, one of which is that West Ham United won the Europa League and finished fifth.
West Ham are currently seventh in the table, having completed the same 32 rounds as Aston Villa, but they are as many as 12 points behind Villa and have little hope of fighting for fifth place.
Against this backdrop, United's priority is to secure sixth place in order to secure at least one of three European qualifications for the Champions League, Europa League and Europa League.
After the first two defeats and draws against Chelsea and Liverpool, United desperately need a win to boost morale. Facing 12th-ranked Bournemouth in this round is undoubtedly a great opportunity for them to vent their emotions.
Bournemouth are now relegated and out of contention for European competition, giving Manchester United a clear advantage in terms of fighting spirit and squad strength. There is reason to expect Manchester United to "eat cherries" in this game and manage to take all three points.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that the 16-year-old of Manchester United's Academy has joined the team in pre-match training in midweek.
The youngster is expected to start this round of the league and will undoubtedly add a sense of anticipation and energy to United's game.
