It’s been all Manchester City in this fixture over the last couple of years, with the hosts beating Bournemouth 18 times in the last 15 years.

In fact, the Cherries have only beaten their opponents once in that time, with that victory coming in 2024 when Evanilson netted the winner in a 2-1 win.

In the last matchup between the pair, it ended 1-1, as Erling Haaland scored a last gasp equaliser for Manchester City.

Manchester City vs Bournemouth Picks

For both teams, there is an air of unknown. Both sides were good last year but both teams have now lost their manager, are either side still at the same level?

Recruitment has been different, but Manchester City still have so much quality, as do Bournemouth, but was it the coach that made them as good as they were.

A tentative first game for both, I see this one as a draw.

Other markets include Erling Haaland to score, Evanilson to have two or more shots on target and Elliot Anderson to make two or more accurate through balls.
