It’s almost unnecessary to say that Manchester City are the clear favorites going into this game. AFC Bournemouth has never won against the Skyblues in their entire club history. The Cherries only got a point once in a direct duel, but even that was 24 years ago. Since then, the Cityzens have been able to prevail every time and have occasionally appeared in the mood to score. The two games last season, for example, ended 4-0 and 4-1 – not a good omen for what was already the third-weakest defense in the league.

The guests from the south of England are back above the relegation zone after their first win of the season last week against Burnley, albeit by just one point. Nevertheless, Andoni Iraola’s team goes into the game as clear underdogs. But maybe the Cherries will be able to carry on the momentum from the last game.

On paper it’s a pretty clear duel today in Manchester. Pep Guardiola’s team recently got back on track after two defeats against Wolverhampton and Arsenal and won against Brigthon and at Manchester United. The Skyblues are currently in third place in the table and are two points behind league leaders Tottenham.
