Manchester City travel to Bournemouth tonight amid a wave of outside noise as they seek to take the title race to the final day with rumours swirling about Pep Guardiola’s imminent departure.
City are five points behind Premier League leaders Arsenal with two games to play and must defeat the Cherries this evening or else the Gunners will be confirmed as champions. That pressure is only increased by the news that Guardiola is reportedly leaving the club at the end of the season and that this will be is final title race.
To make matters worse, Bournemouth have lofty ambitions of their own and are targeting a spot in the Europa League. Andoni Iraola’s men are unbeaten in 16 matches - a run that goes back to January - which includes high-profile wins over Liverpool and Arsenal.
Adding City to the list of big clubs beaten this year would guarantee the Cherries at least sixth place in the league as well as a place in Europe so they have everything to play for tonight.
