Manchester City has bounced back strongly after their 0-1 defeat to Arsenal, securing three consecutive victories. These wins have been dominant performances against Brighton, Young Boys, and most recently, Manchester United. With key players gradually returning to the squad, except for Kevin De Bruyne, Manchester City has regained stability and started to gain momentum.
On the other hand, Bournemouth currently sits in 17th place in the Premier League with 6 points, just one point above the relegation zone. Clearly, facing Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium is a daunting challenge beyond Bournemouth’s capabilities. It is predicted to be a comfortable victory for Manchester City.
