Man City XI vs Bournemouth: Predicted lineup, confirmed team news, injury latest for Premier League today | OneFootball

Pep Guardiola’s FA Cup winners look to be at full strength for must-win clash in Premier League title race

Manchester City don’t look to be suffering from any known injury issues as they take on Bournemouth tonight.

After Rodri returned from a niggling groin injury to play 65 minutes of Saturday’s FA Cup final win over Chelsea, City appear to have cleared their injury list and should have every player fit for selection in a must-win game at the Vitality Stadium.

It is a timely boost for Guardiola and City, who know following Arsenal’s nervy 1-0 home win over Burnley last night that any slip-up on the south coast will hand the Premier League title to Mikel Arteta’s side with a game to spare.

Guardiola made one surprise call when he named his team for the FA Cup final, leaving Rayan Cherki on the bench. He presumably took that decision to keep the tricky Frenchman fresh for this game, so expect him to come back into the side.

Omar Marmoush may be the man to make way after he was hooked at half-time against Chelsea. Antoine Semenyo may be rested here as he makes an emotional first return to his former club, with Phil Foden the most likely candidate to step up.

Jeremy Doku is at the top of his game and should be restored to the lineup.

Rodri played just over an hour against Chelsea and is also expected to keep his place in the side for another huge fixture, partnering outgoing captain Bernardo Silva in the heart of midfield.

Rotation may come in the back line, with the likes of Rayan Ait-Nouri and Ruben Dias waiting in the wings. Marc Guehi will keep his place after a man-of-the-match performance at Wembley alongside Abdukodir Khusanov, who has come into his own in recent months.

Gianluigi Donnarumma will come back in between the sticks after ceding his place to cup goalkeeper James Trafford at the weekend.
