Match Preview
Manchester City will host AFC Bournemouth at Etihad Stadium on Wednesday. Citizens are currently placed at second position with 72 points from 35 matches. On the other hand Bournemouth are placed in relegation zone with 31 points in same number of matches.
Manchester City continued their winning momentum on Saturday at American Express Community Stadium with a 5-0 triumph over Brighton & Hove Albion. It was fourth time in six matches when Manchester City bagged four or more goals.
In Premier League season 2019-20, Manchester City have already scored 91 goals – four short of their last year’s 95 goal mark which led them to title. They still need 15 more goals to match their all time high for most goals in a single league campaign ( 106 goals in 2017-18 season ). With their games coming up sides like Watford, Norwich City, we can expect Citizens to come closer to their own record.
On the other hand Bournemouth stunned Leicester City with 4-1 victory at Vitality Stadium on Sunday. Striker Dominic Solanke strikes twice whereas Junior Stanislas scored through penalty, one goal was gifted to Cherries in the form of own goal by Jonny Evans.
Although Bournemouth have registered wins against top sides since their promotion in 2015 but they have never tasted success against Manchester City. Over the past half decade, Citizens have 100 percent winning record over Bournemouth with an aggregate score of 28-4.
