“I don’t want him in my team” Manchester City Owner instructs Pep Guardiola not to ever Start Manchester City FLOP.
Seeking to keep their position at the top of the Premier League, Manchester City travels to Bournemouth this weekend.
City is undefeated in the Premier League thus far; yet, following a 2-1 loss to Tottenham in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night, go to the South Coast.
They also make the trip south in the middle of an injury crisis; Guardiola will hope to be able to assemble a side still good enough to walk out of the Vitality Stadium with three points.
Keeping this in mind, here’s a view of how the top analysts believe City will perform against Andoni Iraola’s team.

Former Arsenal player and Sky Sports commentator told SportsKeeda: “Manchester City finds this game challenging as Bournemouth is only good at home.
“City is now winning games even if they are not performing at their best. They played a team with so many changes and it reveals their priorities this season even if they lost to Tottenham in the league cup over midweek. Their ideal is Champions League and Premier League.
“They are most clearly lacking Kevin De Bruyne’s inventiveness. Their absence of Rodri has also harmed them as he let them ascend the pitch somewhat rapidly. Though Mateo Kovacic deserves all due credit, he is more of a ball-carrier than a fast passer like Rodri, which has hurt the squad.
“It is good for now as you do not gain extra points for winning 5-0 or 6-0; so, the outcomes are what matter. I want to keep on this Saturday as well.
