A controversial call saw the Citizens drop two points last weekend. Will Bournemouth force them to drop more this time around?

What is Bournemouth and Man City's form ahead of this match?

Bournemouth kicked off the competition with a somewhat disappointing draw against the recently promoted Sheffield United. Fortunately for Howe's men, they had a better performance against Aston Villa and ended up bagging three points thanks to their 2-1 win.

Manchester City was off to a great start, as they walked past West Ham with an emphatic 5-0 win. Unfortunately for Pep's men, their game against Tottenham ended in a 2-2 draw, leaving them in third place with four points to their name.

Bournemouth vs Man City - Who's in and who's out?

Coach Eddie Howe is currently facing an injury crisis, as he will have to prepare this clash without seven players. David Brooks, Dan Gosling, Lewis Cook, Simon Francis, Lloyd Kelly, Junior Stanislas and Arnaut Danjuma have all been ruled out, meaning that Howe will have to come up with a new plan to face the current EPL champions.

Pep Guardiola will also have cause for concern, but not as deep as Bournemouth's. Three players have been ruled out by the Citizens' medical staff, including Benjamin Mendy and Leroy Sané. The latest addition to the Citizens' "hospital" is John Stones, who needs time off to recover from a muscular complaint.

Bournemouth vs Man City - Pre-match talk

Bournemouth's boss Eddie Howe spoke on Friday about his opponents and highlighted the antics of one man in particular: Raheem Sterling. Even if the Englishman was the object of Howe's praise, the boss admitted that holding back Manchester City will not only be a matter of stopping the top scorer in the Premier League with four goals in two games.

On the other hand,  Manchester City's boss kept the analysis inside the team, and looked into David Silva's contribution to the club and how he will be crucial to achieve their goals in the ongoing season, which will be his last as a Citizen.
