Premier League: Bournemouth vs Manchester City Live
Preview: Bournemouth vs Manchester City
Bournemouth vs Manchester City will take place at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday at 5:30pm, as Bournemouth is looking to continue their momentum from a strong 2-2 draw against Newcastle, while Manchester City aims to close the gap at the top of the table following their narrow victory over Brentford.
Bournemouth fans may be feeling a bit anxious as their team has not won a Premier League match in their last six games, despite initially appearing to have moved away from the relegation battle earlier in the season. Although they have only earned three points in 2024, second lowest after Burnley, they still have an eight-point cushion above the relegation zone. However, this could change as they face a strong Manchester City team in the upcoming matchday. However, Bournemouth can rely on Dominic Solanke to lead them to a positive outcome against Manchester City, as he has scored 14 goals in the league for Bournemouth this season, with nine of them giving his team the lead.
Man City narrowed the gap with Liverpool to just one point after winning 1-0 against Brentford on Tuesday. However, Liverpool extended their lead the following night. Manchester City’s victory extended their unbeaten streak to 16 matches, and they seem to be stepping up their game as the season progresses. They will play this weekend while Liverpool faces Chelsea in the Carabao Cup final. Despite their impressive unbeaten run, Man City has faced challenges, particularly when playing away games in the Premier League. They have conceded the first goal in their last six away matches but managed to win the last four.
Head-to-head
Bournemouth has been defeated in 13 Premier League matches against Man City, with their most recent encounter in November resulting in a 6-1 loss.
Prediction
It is anticipated that Man City will easily win on Saturday, with players such as Erling Haaland and Phil Foden expected to score. While the opposing team may resist, their efforts are unlikely to match the superior skill of Manchester City.
