Andoni Iraola has done an excellent job at Bournemouth this season, and they remain in pole position to finish in a European spot for the first time in their history. However, only a win on Tuesday will keep alive their hopes of a Champions League position.

The Cherries should be confident after enjoying their best-ever top-flight unbeaten run, as they have gone 16 fixtures without defeat. Bournemouth have also won four of their previous five in the Premier League. Rayan has proven to be an inspired signing by the Cherries, with the Brazilian teenager having scored in his last three appearances.

Likely Line-Up:

(4-2-3-1): Petrovic (GK); Smith, Hill, Senesi, Truffert; Adams, Scott; Rayan, Tavenier, Kroupi; Evanilson

Man City Stats & Team News

• Overall Record: 23-8-5
• Home Record: 14-3-1
• Road Record: 9-5-4

Man City’s confidence will be sky high after winning their second domestic trophy of the season, with Antoine Semenyo netting the winner in the FA Cup final against Chelsea. However, City have suffered defeats in three of their last four away matches on the south coast of England against Bournemouth, Southampton, and Brighton.

But, they have only lost their final away match of a Premier League season in two of the last 16 seasons. Jeremy Doku has been an integral player in recent weeks, registering four goal involvements in his last three away appearances.

Likely Line-Up:

(4-2-3-1): Donnarumma (GK); Nunes, Ake, Guehi, O’Reilly; Gonzalez, Silva; Semenyo, Cherki, Doku; Haaland

• Bournemouth have lost 16 of their 17 Premier League matches against Man City, with their only win coming in this exact fixture last season.
