This weekend, Manchester City will play Bournemouth in the Premier League at the Vitality Stadium. Watch out, it’s going to be an exciting struggle. The visitors will aim for a minimum of three points after four victories and a draw in their previous five league-stage games.
Second in the league standings, Pep Guardiola’s team has managed to move up a spot. Liverpool, who is top of the table, is just four points away. With one more game remaining, City can close the difference to just one point and give their bitter rivals cause for concern.
4-2-3-1 Man City’s expected lineup versus Bournemouth’s defence
Ederson will, of course, be the one wearing the gloves. He had little influence over Brentford except for a few saves. His goal will be to stuff one more clean sheet into his bag.
Dependable Kyle Walker will take no chances when playing at right-back. It is anticipated that Manuel Akanji, who started the previous game as a left-back, will play with Ruben Dias as a center-back. Starting the match, Nathan Ake will assume control of the left-back position.
Midfield
Oscar Bobb is anticipated to start the game instead of Mateo Kovacic, who will partner with Rodri to create a two-man holding midfield.
Jeremy Doku, Julian Alvarez, and Phil Foden will probably make up the trio in front of them. With a spot on the bench, Bernardo Silva may appear in the second half. Kevin De Bruyne should also see some action after he did not play against Brentford as a substitute.
Attack
Following a dull match against Chelsea, Erling Haaland scored one more goal. In the 71st minute of the match, he calmly sent the ball into the net, giving his team the much-needed goal.
Josko Gvardiol and Jack Grealish will not be able to participate in the competition.
