Preview + Form
A tricky match up for the club as they are off a really good Cup win. They need the win and all three points and facing a surging Cherry side, this could be a great opportunity.
It will be a tough match, but one has to back City with Haaland on form and Foden playing really well.
The key battle will be the midfielders chosen. Are Cherki and Reinjders to start? An interesting match up is in tow. Who will play?
Which team will come out in front? We are in store for a fun match.
Previous Meeting
The last time City welcomed Bournemouth to the Etihad, we said farewell to Club legend Kevin De Bruyne, who played for City at the Etihad for the final time.
Pep Guardiola Preview
“I would say it’s just nine games but also in previous seasons they’re consistent.
“The team, manager, players, a tough opponent, but we know that.
“They’re top. The manager, directors’ playing philosophy doesn’t change. The players did but it’s impressive.
“When you lose the three or four of the back four to PSG Madrid and Liverpool and still do it in that way it’s because there’s a lot of good work behind them.
“When I was in Munich I heard the rumour that everyone can beat anyone in England.
“It always had that sense, maybe Liverpool and us in the past changed that dynamic and were so consistent every season arriving with close to 100 points but the PL always has been where teams can beat them.
“Anyone can beat anyone but for the spectator and the Premier League it’s really good.”
Team News
