Premier League on Sky Sports: Man City vs Bournemouth betting preview and tips
The Etihad Stadium hosts an intriguing Sunday showdown between Manchester City and high-flying Bournemouth.
Both sides have impressed this season, but City will be eager to respond after a rare setback last time out.
The Cherries, meanwhile, travel north full of confidence under Andoni Iraola’s dynamic approach.
Here, Sports News Blitz outlines all the best bets and key stats ahead of the clash.
The tale so far
Pep Guardiola’s side slipped to a 1-0 defeat at Aston Villa last weekend, struggling to find their rhythm against Unai Emery’s well-drilled team.
That result exposed City’s ongoing difficulties in breaking down top opposition away from home.
Back at the Etihad, however, the champions will look to reassert their dominance and reignite their title charge.
Liverpool’s recent dip has left the title race wide open, giving Guardiola’s men extra motivation to bounce back quickly.
Bournemouth, for their part, have flourished under Iraola, embracing his energetic, high-pressing style.
Even after losing key players in the summer, the Cherries’ youthful, attacking side continues to grow in confidence – and they’ll see this as another chance to prove their progress.
