Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe eyes survival spur from Man United trip

Howe believes his players have what it takes to regroup and make sure a positive first half of the campaign is not allowed to fade away.

Manager Eddie Howe is confident Bournemouth are ready to "defy the odds" again by preserving their place in the Premier League - and they will tackle Manchester United head on at Old Trafford.

The Cherries slumped to a fourth straight league defeat at West Brom last weekend and have not won since beating Swansea 3-0 away on New Year's Eve.
