Bournemouth v Manchester United: Sky Sports Six-a-Side Elite Player report

Sky Sports Six-a-Side line-up this weekend sees Bournemouth host Manchester United. We take a closer look at the Elite Players.

Two sides with seven points in their last nine meet in the early kick-off with both eager to secure consecutive victories in the league - Man Utd held on for a 2-1 victory at home to Everton last time out, while Bournemouth wrapped up a convincing 3-0 win away at Fulham.

The Elite Player choice is always difficult, but especially in this one, given the fantastic form that both sides find themselves in at the moment.

Take a look at the contenders below and pick your Six-a-Side team...

Joshua King

Joshua King comes up against the club he played at as a youngster, although he managed just 14 minutes as a senior Manchester United player.

The forward is enjoying a strong season with four goals and two assists in eleven appearances and scoring twice in Bournemouth's recent 4-0 hammering of Watford.

He is well on course to exceed last season's tally of nine goals and three assists in 34 games, especially as Bournemouth are flying high early on and sit inside the Premier League's top-six.

King has taken the second-highest number shots of any Bournemouth player this season (17), highlighting his eye for goal and how he is capable of finding the net again on Saturday.

Callum Wilson

King's shots on goal tally is bettered by Callum Wilson, who has managed 26 attempts so far.

The striker has six goals and five assists so far, showing how he can bring in the points as a star player, especially with his last match bringing a huge 85.5 points.

Wilson averages 36 points with 360 in total - more than the two Manchester United players on offer - and his record of three goals in his last three make him a player to seriously consider for the latest round.

It's not just the goals and assists that make Wilson an attractive prospect, but so too does his link up play with successful passes contributing to 47 of his points up until this point.

Romelu Lukaku

Despite Manchester United's hit-and-miss start to the domestic season, Romelu Lukaku still has four goals on his tally and 20 shots on goal so far this season.

Like Wilson, Lukaku earns points in creating opportunities for team-mates and his 120 successful passes have given him 60 points. The forward is also a presence in the air with 25 successful aerial duels earning him 50 of the 331 total points.

The good news for Lukaku is that he has seen success against Bournemouth throughout his career. He's won all five games against the Cherries with eight goals - the joint-second highest tally against one team for the Belgian.

Marcus Rashford

The England forward may only have one goal and a further assist so far this season, but Marcus Rashford has become a star feature for Manchester United in recent weeks.

Rashford has secured the majority of his points through successful passes, with his defensive efforts earning him 18 points through clearances.

He is also a handful for opposition defences and that is highlighted in the fact that he has been fouled on nine occasions. That's won him 18 points and helped his team when having set-pieces in dangerous areas on the pitch.

Rashford offers Six-a-Side players the best opportunity to earn points in a variety of methods compared with the other three Elite Players.
