Match Preview

It has been another professional start to the season for Man City, as Pep Guardiola’s side has quickly moved to the top of the Premier League standings. City come into this round after winning each of their last three, and they could move four points clear at the summit on Saturday.

Bournemouth have impressed in the top flight so far this season, and they could move up to eighth with an extremely rare win against Man City. The Cherries have picked up four points from their last two matches, with both recent fixtures coming against sides that finished in the top four last season.

It is an alarming trend that the Cherries have failed to win in their 20 league matches against City. Over that period, they have lost on 18 occasions. Meanwhile, City have won each of their 14 matches against Bournemouth in the Premier League.

Bournemouth also have a poor record against sides starting the day at the top of the standings after losing each of their last eleven. However, the Cherries would have built momentum in their most recent home match after landing a 2-0 win over Arsenal.

The Cherries will be looking to win three on the bounce at the Vitality Stadium for just the fourth time in Premier League history.

However, it is a daunting prospect against a City side that have gone 28 without defeat. In fact, only two teams have ever enjoyed a longer unbeaten sequence at the start of a calendar year.
