Bournemouth, Recent FormBournemouth will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 1-0 away win against Wolverhampton Wanderers. During that encounter they had 32% possession and had 5 attempts on goal with 1 on target, while their opponents hit 4 of their 15 shots on goal.
Having conceded 8 goals and scored just 3 in their last 6 games, they have been very fortunate to pick up 5 points. The defensive quality of his current squad will be troubling Gary O'Neil of late, his defence having only notched up 1 clean sheet from their last 6 home games. This season they have struggled with consistency in front of goal, failing to score in 12 of their 23 league games.
They've drawn their last 2 league games at Vitality Stadium, but their search for a home win in the league extends even further having gone 3 consecutive games without grabbing all 3 points.
Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for Bournemouth, Marcus Tavernier will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Manchester City, Recent FormManchester City manager Pep Guardiola will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 1-1 draw in his team's last league outing against Nottingham Forest. They came away from that fixture with a 73% share of the possession and clocked up 23 attempts on goal with 6 on target, in comparison to Nottingham Forest, who managed 4 attempts on goal, 1 of which were on target.
With 14 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, Guardiola will be very pleased with his team's form going forward, but he will be casting a cautious eye over his defence, who have shipped 6 goals in the same period. They are struggling defensively and as a result have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games. Few teams have managed to keep The Citizens away from their goal, having scored in all but 2 of their games this season.
They have had a strong run of form recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 games and picking up 4 wins along the way.
On an individual basis, Erling Haaland will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 26 goals in Manchester City's 24 league games this season.
A defeat for Bournemouth in their last match against Manchester City was not completely unexpected, but they will have been disappointed to lose by 4 goals.
The Bournemouth defence has struggled against The Citizens in past meetings, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 11 games. When it comes to breaching the opposition defence, Man City know how to do it against The Cherries, having clocked up 13 goals against them in their previous 5 meetings.
Man City have dominated this fixture in the past, winning the last 11 times in a row when they have played Bournemouth in the league.
Bournemouth manager Gary O'Neil has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. David Brooks (Hamstring), Lewis Cook (Knee), Lloyd Kelly (Knock), Marcos Senesi (Back), Junior Stanislas (Muscle) and Illya Zabarnyi (Ankle) are all currently out of contention for this game.
There is only really one injury concern for the Man City manager Pep Guardiola ahead of this clash, with John Stones (Hamstring) missing out, which gives Guardiola a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
