Confirmed Line-Ups: Bournemouth vs Manchester City (Premier League)

Manchester City are looking to return to winning ways at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday evening after successive 1-1 draws against Nottingham Forest and RB Leipzig.

Pep Guardiola’s side lost ground in the race for the Premier League title last weekend, as Chris Wood cancelled out Bernardo Silva’s first half strike at the City Ground.

In midweek, Riyad Mahrez opened the scoring for City in the UEFA Champions League, however Josko Gvardiol’s header drew RB Leipzig level in Germany.

The Blues face Bournemouth on the south coast on Saturday evening, with the Cherries having won their first game since November last weekend against Wolves.

Gary O’Neil’s side are just one point above the relegation zone ahead of Saturday’s game against the Premier League champions, and were thrashed 4-0 at the Etihad Stadium in August.

Prior to kick-off at the Vitality Stadium, both Gary O’Neil and Pep Guardiola have named their respective teams.
