Manchester City welcome AFC Bournemouth to the Etihad Stadium on Sunday. They will be aiming to build on their strong home form.
Pep Guardiola’s side have won their last four home games in all competitions. Although they have experienced an inconsistent start to the league, they will be confident heading into this fixture. The hosts also have an absolutely dominant record against the Cherries.
In fact, City have won all eight of their Premier League home games against Bournemouth. They will be strong favourites to make it nine in a row. However, they must be wary of an opponent that has spent the least amount of time in a losing position of any team this season.
Pep Guardiola has been handed a massive double boost for this match. Key midfielder Rodri has recovered from his hamstring issue. Furthermore, Erling Haaland is also fit despite a recent knock.
With a fully-fit squad to call upon, Guardiola is expected to recall regulars like Rúben Dias and Phil Foden. Additionally, this match is a personal milestone for Foden. He is set to make his 200th Premier League appearance, becoming the youngest City player to reach that landmark.
Manchester City predicted XI: Donnarumma; Nunes, Stones, Dias, Gvardiol; Rodri; Silva, Reijnders, Foden, Savinho; Haaland
The Premier League fixture takes place at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday, 2 November 2025. Kick-off is scheduled for 4:30 pm GMT.
Fans in the UK can watch the match live on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League.
