Two seasons have been played since Manchester City last won the Premier League. The Blues begin the new season with Enzo Maresca now in charge and host Bournemouth. City have a strong record against their opponents, and our prediction is City wins and BTTS.
it's going to be so strange for City not having Pep Guardiola in charge of them. Last season saw them finish second, seven points behind Arsenal. They lost to the Gunners in last weekend's Community Shield and that's not the only bad news they have had in the past week or so. Transfers aren't going too well for them at present. Last season saw them win 14 home league games.
Bournemouth finished sixth in the Premier League last season. That has seen the Cherries qualify for their first ever campaign in Europe and they'll be playing in the Europa League. They also have a new coach with Marco Rosa joining them and last season did concede 34 away league goals.

Manchester City & Bournemouth Squad Analysis
Plenty of changes have taken place at the Etihad this summer. Not just the departure of Pep Guardiola , but some long-serving players such as Bernardo Silva and John Stones. Others to leave have included Rodri and Savinho. Omar Mamoush also looks on his way.
More signings on the way for City?
In have come Elliot Anderson for £116 million and Leicester's Jeremy Monga. That's not too impressive and you can only guess that the final weeks of the transfer window will see more players heading to the Etihad. Lille's Bouaddi is a rumoured signing.
Bournemouth have a busy season ahead with their debut European campaign. Three big signings have been made already with the arrival of Antonio Silva, Juanlu Sanchez and Alvaro Rodriguez. Notable departures have been Traore and Sinisterra.
Their new coach has confirmed that some injuries have been suffered in their pre-season fixtures. No players were named by the former RB Leipzig coach,so he's not exactly helping journalists much.
