Having seen their Andoni Iraola-led revival hit new heights last weekend, Bournemouth aim to further boost their Premier League survival hopes at the expense of Luton Town's at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday.
The Cherries subjected Manchester United to a 3-0 Old Trafford mauling in gameweek 16, while the Hatters fought bravely against Manchester City but were on the wrong end of a 2-1 scoreline.
The red-hot Dominic Solanke needed just five minutes to breach the Red Devils' backline before Bournemouth exposed Man United's frailties in the air, as Philip Billing and Marcos Senesi both headed home from Marcus Tavernier deliveries in the second 45, before Dango Ouattara had an injury-time effort disallowed for handball.
While thousands of Man United fans elected to catch an early train home, those that stayed until the bitter end made their feelings known, while the Bournemouth contingent revelled in what Adam Smith described as his side's greatest win in recent history.
Victory at the Theatre of Dreams represented a fourth win from five Premier League matches for one of the division's form sides, who have scored at least twice in all of those contests and have surged up the rankings into 14th place, with a healthy 10-point buffer to upcoming foes Luton in the drop zone.
