Bournemouth vs Man City: Premier League prediction, team news, line-ups, start time, live, TV, head to head, odds

Manchester City will be looking to get their Premier League challenge back on track against Bournemouth on Saturday.

While potential title rivals Tottenham and Arsenal lost at the weekend, City failed to capitalise as Everton held Pep Guardiola's side to a 1-1 draw at the Etihad Stadium on Monday night.

Kyle Waker endured a disastrous home debut as the former Tottenham defender was sent off in the first half, while City needed a late Raheem Sterling volley to cancel out Wayne Rooney's opener.

While City almost came unstuck against the Toffees, Bournemouth have lost their opening two games of the season - but Eddie Howe's cherries have more than enough self-belief and talent to ensure a tough trip to the south coast for Guardiola.
