Bournemouth will want to continue from where they left off last time out with a 0-1 Premier League triumph over Fulham.

In that game, Bournemouth managed 40% possession and 10 attempts on goal with 5 of them on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Bournemouth was Rayan (53'). On the other side, Fulham had 14 shots at goal with 2 on target.

Three or more goals per game were recorded in 5 of the last 6 meetings where Bournemouth have been involved. Opposition teams scored 6 of them in these games whereas Bournemouth managed a tally of 12.

Looking at their past form shows that Bournemouth:

• haven't won against Manchester City in their last 2 league matches.
• haven't been defeated in their previous 8 home league matches. Visiting teams have certainly not had an easy time of it here.

Manchester City

WWDWWW 📈

Manchester City will go into this match following a 0-1 FA Cup win to defeat Chelsea in their most recent fixture.

In that game, Manchester City had 56% possession and 9 shots at goal with 4 on target. The scorer for Manchester City was Antoine Semenyo (72'). At the other end, Chelsea had 7 shots on goal with 1 of them on target.

A series of dependable performances from the Manchester City defensive players has seen their ‘goals against’ tally standing at 4 from their previous 6 fixtures overall. In that time, their own attack force has managed to score 12. That sort of pattern might not be carried forward here, of course.

Coming into this fixture, Manchester City are unbeaten in their previous 7 league matches away from home.

ℹ️ Team News: Bournemouth

We think that The Cherries will possibly use the 4-2-3-1 formation for this one, beginning the first half with Djordje Petrovic, Adam Smith, James Hill, Marcos Senesi, Adrien Truffert, Alex Scott, Tyler Adams, Rayan, Eli Junior Kroupi, Marcus Tavernier and Evanilson.

ℹ️ Team News: Manchester City

We reckon that The Citizens might play in a 4-2-3-1 system, choosing Gianluigi Donnarumma, Matheus Nunes, Abdukodir Khusanov, Marc Guehi, Nico O'Reilly, Bernardo Silva, Nico Gonzalez, Antoine Semenyo, Rayan Cherki, Jeremy Doku and Erling Haaland.

🔮 Prediction

Looking at these two teams, we feel that Bournemouth have enough to put one past this Manchester City lineup, but a single goal may not be enough to avoid defeat.

We’ve gone for a close game with a 1-2 winning margin for Manchester City at the end of this one. It really should be an interesting one.
