Bournemouth won’t have their midfielder Ryan Christie who is suspended but Alex Jimenez is still unavailable as there is an internal club investigation going on. Then again, Lewis Cook has rejoined the squad after he got over his injury giving Iraola a much needed lift right before the big match. The Cherries are going to the match with an unbeaten streak in their last 16 league games and they are full of confidence following their recent win against Fulham.
Manchester City have been handed a massive boost as Rodri is back to fitness after his groin problem. Guardiola may well have all the players physically fit at his disposal But a bit of rotation can happen as the Citizens had their FA Cup final victory over Chelsea. Jeremy Doku, Erling Haaland, and Rayan Cherki tend to be the starting ones as City want to push the title fight to the final matchday.
Bournemouth Predicted XI: Petrovic; Smith, Hill, Senesi, Truffert; Scott, Adams; Rayan, Kroupi, Tavernier; Evanilson.
Manchester City Predicted XI: Donnarumma; Nunes, Khusanov, Guehi, O’Reilly; Bernardo Silva, Rodri; Doku, Cherki, Semenyo; Haaland.
Historically, Manchester City have had a stranglehold over this fixture, winning 16 out of their last 17 Premier League games against Bournemouth. But, in this fixture last season, Bournemouth pulled off a 2-1 win against City at home, a result that shocked everyone, and they will be confident that they can create another surprise.
The clash between Bournemouth and Manchester City could decide the Premier League 2025/26 title. If City drop points by drawing or losing the game, Arsenal would gain an unassailable lead heading into the final matchday, meaning that they will be crowned champions.
Even though Bournemouth have been on an amazing unbeaten run and are playing very well at home, Manchester City’s having the know-how of playing high-pressure games might turn out to be a deciding factor. City seems to be hitting the perfect spot in time, mostly after their FA Cup victory. Bournemouth might give City a hard time with their high level of pressing and fast counter-attacks, yet Haaland and Doku may be the key players in attack.
Bournemouth vs Manchester City Match Prediction: Bournemouth 1-2 Manchester City
