AFC Bournemouth will face a tough test as they host reigning champions Manchester City in this Premier League showdown. The Cherries, led by Andoni Iraola, have been solid in mid-table but will need a near-perfect performance to upset Pep Guardiola’s title-chasing side.

Manchester City, despite injuries, remain the overwhelming favorites, boasting a dominant head-to-head record against Bournemouth. With key players like Erling Haaland, Kevin De Bruyne, and Phil Foden expected to play a major role, City will be looking to secure all three points to keep their title hopes alive.

Bournemouth, however, have proven to be resilient at home and will rely on their attacking threats such as Dominic Solanke and Marcus Tavernier to test City's defense.
