Man City vs Bournemouth LIVE goal and score updates as Erling Haaland misses sitter with Blues on top
The team news will make interesting reading a little later. City are without Jeremy Doku through injury, meaning Phil Foden and Rayan Cherki could be in the same XI but with one pushed into a wider role. There are other options, Rayan Ait-Nouri could be deployed, Matheus Nunes could be pushed forward or Jack Grealish could be handed a start.
The other questions are around which defender missess out if Nunes and Nico O’Reilly are at full back, with Ruben Dias, Marc Guehi, Josko Gvardiol and Abdukodir Khusanov competing for two spots.
In midfield Elliot Anderson is certain to start and Mateo Kovacic could win the race to partner him ahead of Nico Gonzalez despite a poor showing in the Community Shield, Gonzalez has been linked with a move to Newcastle before the deadline.
