Pep Guardiola’s side were pipped by Tottenham in the last 16 of the League Cup on Wednesday, ending a five-match winning streak and a 13-match unbeaten run to begin their 2024-25 campaign. Unfortunately, the four-time defending PL champions are back on top after 2nd and 3rd place Liverpool and Arsenal drew each other last weekend. However, that doesn’t mean it’s been a flawless, dominant start, with Rodri set to miss the rest of the season with a torn ACL, Kevin De Bruyne out again and results tighter than ever. City are unbeaten at 4W-2D-0L in their last six PL games, but each victory came by a single goal, with their last multi-goal win coming all the way back on August 31.

Bournemouth have been on an incredibly difficult run of late, but Andoni Iraola will be confident of having four points from back-to-back games against Arsenal and Aston Villa. At this point, a result against Man City would simply be the Cherries’ cherry on top. Following the departure of Dominic Solanke this summer, Bournemouth needed to tighten up defensively to produce some tough results, especially early in the season as club-record signing Evanilson (2 goals in 8 PL games) finds his footing. Through nine games they had done just that, conceding more goals in a game just twice so far.

Bournemouth vs Manchester City forecast

As the injuries (and inventory) pile up for City, each game becomes tougher and a bigger question. Few teams in the PL make you work and scrape like Bournemouth do and they will push the champions to the brink…but not quite over it. Bournemouth 1-2 Manchester City.
