An exciting clash between Bournemouth and Manchester City

An intriguing Match week 10 fixture in the English Premier League will see high-flying Bournemouth, currently sitting second in the table, take on fifth-placed Manchester City.

Bournemouth have been the revelation of the season so far, sitting just four points behind league leaders Arsenal after nine rounds. Meanwhile, City have been one of the biggest disappointments of the campaign, already trailing the top by six points.

The “Citizens” have endured a sluggish start, suffering their third league defeat of the season against Aston Villa, and will be desperate to bounce back against a Bournemouth side that hasn’t tasted defeat since the opening weekend.

While City continue to depend heavily on their Norwegian talisman Erling Haaland, Pep Guardiola’s side will be boosted by the return of Egyptian forward Omar Marmoush and French winger Rayan Cherki — both back from injury and on target in the midweek 3-1 EFL Cup victory over Swansea City.

Elsewhere, defending champions Liverpool will look to end a miserable run of six defeats in their last seven games across all competitions when they face in-form Aston Villa, while Arsenal aim to extend their lead at the top against Burnley.
