Man City to make back-to-back wins

The game will take place at the Etihad Stadium and the hosts begin the weekend in 4th place on three points while the visitors are one place above them but on the same number of points.

Manchester City come into the match on the back of a good 2-0 win at West Ham United last weekend. The match was expected to be a tough test for the defending champions on the first day of the season but they looked in complete control for much of the game.

Erling Haaland scored his first goal for the club in the 36th minute from the penalty spot and added a second in the 65th minute to seal maximum points.

The victory means the 3-1 loss to Liverpool in the Community Shield was put to bed quickly and Manchester City look ready for a title challenge again this season.

The victory at West Ham United means Manchester City have won 10 of their 13 most recent games in the Premier League. They are undefeated in each of those 13 matches and have won each of their last four at home.

Manchester City were scoring plenty of goals at home towards the end of last season and the only issue was keeping clean sheets. Pep Guardiola’s team have kept only two clean sheets in their last 7 home league fixtures.

Bournemouth make the trip to the Etihad Stadium having enjoyed a fantastic return to the Premier League last weekend.

Man City to make back-to-back wins

The Cherries beat Aston Villa 2-0 at home, with the opening goal coming after only two minutes. The points were sealed when Bournemouth added their second goal with only 10 minutes remaining on the clock.

It was an important confidence boost for Bournemouth who suffered three straight defeats at the end of preseason. The losses came against Sporting Braga, Bristol City, and Real Sociedad.
