by Steve Ashfield in Premier League Predictions
It's an uncommon situation for Manchester City this weekend. They host Bournemouth and are actually below the visitors in the Premier League table. The Citizens are only fifth in the table with Bournemouth in second place. Here's our match prediction.
City will go ahead of the Cherries if they can earn their fourth home league win of the season. Midweek saw them reach the Carabao Cup quarter-finals but it's their Premier League title that Pep Guardiola wants to see his team regain this season.
Bournemouth are only four points behind leaders Arsenal. The south coast club is already dreaming of qualifying for European competition next season. As you will read in the form section of this preview, they haven't been beaten in the Premier League since the opening game of the season. They don't possess a great record against Manchester City but it's games like this that will show just how far they have progressed.

Manchester City - Bournemouth: Form Analysis
Manchester City are already six points behind league leaders Arsenal. The Blues have won five of their nine Premier League games this season but been beaten three times. Last weekend saw them lose 1-0 away at Aston Villa, ending a run of three successive league wins.
They returned to winning ways in midweek, though they had to come from behind to win 3-1 at Swansea City in the Carabao Cup. Home form this season began poorly with a league loss to Tottenham. They have won three in a row since that defeat by an aggregate score of 10-1.
City usually prosper against the Cherries.
City has an excellent record against Bournemouth. They have won 21 of their 24 meetings with just one away loss in 2024. At the Etihad, City have scored 13 goals in their last three games against the Cherries. Eight of the last ten games between these two clubs have seen both teams score.
Bournemouth are second in the Premier League and unbeaten in their last eight fixtures. Their season began with a 4-2 defeat at Liverpool but since then have won five and drawn three in the Premier League.
Last weekend saw them get a 2-0 home win over Nottingham Forest. Away form isn't their strong point with only five points earned from their four league games. Only one away league victory has been achieved, a win at Tottenham. Their last two away games have both ended in score-draws.

Manchester City & Bournemouth Squad Analysis
Manchester City won in midweek but they rested Erling Haaland and Rodri. Haaland did have an unpleasant collision with a goal post against Villa last weekend but has been training. It's so important that he plays for City with a lack of goals coming from other players.
It could be a big weekend for midfielder Phil Foden. Playing against Bournemouth will see him making history by becoming the youngest ever player to appear in 200 Premier League games for City.
City have won three successive home league games and scored ten goals in those victories. With a strong record against the Cherries, Pep Guardiola will be looking for City to get a win and go above Bournemouth in the table.
Kroupi is in great form.
All eyes wil be on Eli Junior Kroupi, The 19-year-old has scored five goals in his last three games for club and country. That's a record even Erling Haaland would be proud of. He is expected to again start this weekend with Evanilson still doubttul.
Enes Unai came through his first match in nine months and his return is a major boost for the Cherries. Bournemouth have conceded nine away goals this season (five in the last two) but have scored eight of their own.

Our Manchester City vs Bournemouth Prediction
It's been a strange season so far for Manchester City. Erling Haaland is in great form with 11 league goals but no other City player has scored more than one. The Citizens are six points behind Arsenal and won't want to see that gap widen.
Bournemouth are second in the Premier League and two points clear of City. They have a strong forward line that will test City's sometimes fragile defence. Their away form does need improving but they constantly score. Our main Manchester City v Bournemouth prediction is Manchester City wins and both teams score..
