The last time that happened? 2013\/14 \u2014 and City still lifted the Premier League trophy. Pep Guardiola will look to steady the ship with the champions already six points adrift of league leaders Arsenal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bournemouth, on the other hand, is <em>flying<\/em>. Andoni Iraola has turned the Cherries into one of the EPL\u2019s most exciting sides. Their 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest extended an eight-match unbeaten league run (W5, D3), putting them second, only four points behind Arsenal. They may be leaking goals away from home, but they don\u2019t shy away from attacking \u2014 especially from range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2694\ufe0f Head-to-Head &amp; Key Stats<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Stat<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Manchester City<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Bournemouth<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>PL Head-to-Head<\/td><td>15 wins in 16 vs Bournemouth<\/td><td>1 win only (last season)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Recent Form<\/td><td>W8 in last 10 home PL matches<\/td><td>8-game PL unbeaten run<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Clean Sheets Trend<\/td><td>6 of the last eight wins with a clean sheet<\/td><td>9 of the last 11 away games BTTS<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Key Attacker<\/td><td>Phil Foden (5G, 3A vs Bournemouth)<\/td><td>Eli Kroupi (3 goals in last three games)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><br>Bournemouth leads the league in goals scored from outside the box (6).<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Manchester City rarely draws \u2014 only two in the previous 20 PL games.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Both teams score frequently when Bournemouth travels.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83d\udc65 Team News<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Manchester City<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u2705 Rodri: Late fitness check<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u2753 Erling Haaland: Minor knock, expected to feature<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\ud83c\udfaf Phil Foden: Set for his 200th PL appearance, loves scoring vs Bournemouth<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bournemouth<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u2705 Eli Kroupi in hot scoring form<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u2753 Evanilson has been out recently with a calf issue<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/PLManCityBournemouth23v1.avif\" alt=\"Manchester City vs Bournemouth Prediction \u2014 Premier League Preview &amp; Betting Tips\" class=\"wp-image-12716\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo courtesy<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83e\udde0 Tactical Insight<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>City\u2019s Etihad form remains fearsome \u2014 eight wins in their last ten league games at home.
