Head to Head

In 17 matches, Bournemouth have never managed a win against Manchester City. City have won 15 along with two draws.

Bournemouth Form

Bournemouth are mid-table in the Premier League after an up-and-down start to the campaign.

The South Coast team were winless in four of their opening five before beating bottom side Southampton 3-1. Andoni Iraola’s side followed that victory with a 1-0 defeat at Leicester and a 2-0 triumph over Arsenal.

The Cherries’ inconsistent spell continued with a 1-1 draw against Aston Villa. Bournemouth were outplayed with 0.33-1.97 XG and conceded on 75 minutes before Evanilson scored an injury-time leveller.

Bournemouth News

Midfielder Alex Scott is unlikely to play a part on Saturday due to a knee injury.

Goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga, forward Luis Sinisterra and midfielder Philip Billing face late fitness tests and could feature.

Man City Form

Man City sit top of the Premier League with a one-point cushion over Liverpool. The Citizens have won seven of their opening nine and are the only unbeaten side in the division.

City won five in a row in October, including league victories over Fulham 3-2, Wolves 2-1 and Southampton 1-0. Erling Haaland struck the winner against the Saints on Saturday.

Pep Guardiola made six changes in City’s 2-1 EFL Cup loss at Tottenham last time out. The Citizens trailed 2-0 after 25 minutes and Matheus Nunes scored a consolation before half time.

Man City News

Defender Manuel Akanji came off injured against Tottenham and is a doubt here.

Midfielders Rodri and Kevin De Bruyne and defender Kyle Walker are injured and unavailable.

Forward trio Oscar Bobb, Jeremy Doku and Jack Grealish are also ruled out with injuries.

Verdict

Bournemouth v Man City

Man City rested players in mid-week and a full-strength side can return and cause Bournemouth problems. Haaland is the Premier League’s leading scorer and there is value on the Norwegian to strike again.
