Event Preview
Man City’s full focus in the final week of the Premier League season will be on securing their spot in next season’s Champions League. Pep Guardiola’s side have endured a disappointing defense of their Premier League title, but despite their issues, they could yet end the campaign as high as second in the standings.
However, the former champions will need to put a limp performance against Southampton behind them after playing out a 0-0 draw against the Saints last Saturday. That goalless draw means that City have now failed to score in four of their last eleven Premier League matches.

It has been a progressive season for Andoni Iraola at Bournemouth this term, but the Cherries look set to lose a number of first-team players once the transfer window opens. Bournemouth sit tenth in the Premier League standings, and they could yet finish as high as eighth with wins in each of their remaining two matches.
The Cherries will need to bounce back to form, though, after losing 1-0 at home to Aston Villa last Saturday. That was a disappointing defeat against an opponent who were reduced to ten men, as a win would have put them in a strong position to achieve European qualification for the first time in their history.
Man City vs. Bournemouth Picks
Bournemouth may have won the reverse fixture between these sides this season, but it is hard to overlook the fact that City have won each of the last seven Premier League meetings between the teams at the Etihad. That home dominance looks set to continue on Tuesday.
