Bournemouth vs Man City: Prediction, kick-off time, team news, TV, live stream, h2h results, odds today

Manchester City head to Bournemouth this afternoon as they look to keep their spot at the summit of the Premier League table.

While the Cherries have impressed this season and beat Arsenal 2-0 at home last month, Man City boast a fine record against the south coast outfit.

Date, kick-off time and venue

Bournemouth vs Man City is scheduled for a 3pm GMT kick-off time today, Saturday, November 2, 2024.

Bournemouth vs Man City team news

Bournemouth winger Dango Ouattara is a major doubt after sustaining an injury this week during training.

Mark Travers will remain in goal as Kepa Arrizabalaga continues his recovery, while Luis Sinisterra and Alex Scott are also still out.

City, meanwhile, are in the midst of an injury crisis. Savinho was stretchered off during the Spurs game but looks to have avoided serious injury and could play on Saturday, but that’s where the good news ends.

Pep Guardiola has doubts over Kevin De Bruyne, Kyle Walker, Jack Grealish, Jeremy Doku, Manuel Akanji and Josko Gvardiol after being hit with a raft of injuries. Rodri and Oscar Bobb are long-term absentees.

Bournemouth vs Man City prediction

Little about the hosts this season suggest this will be a walkover for City, especially given the injuries effecting Guardiola’s side, but they remain strong favourites for a reason.

City have a daunting record against the Cherries, and a fully rested Erling Haaland will be keen to add to his tally this season after a few big wasted chances against Southampton last time out.

Man City to win, 2-1.
