Bournemouth vs Manchester City Prediction

Bournemouth are currently 17th in the league, one point behind 18th-placed West Ham United. They made some acquisitions in January, with the likes of Hamed Traore, Dango Ouattara, Illya Zabarnyi and Antoine Semenyo all joining the club. It was much needed after a quiet summer transfer window.

Bournemouth have won one of their last five league games, and manager Gary O'Neil, who was appointed as the permanent boss after a spell as interim manager, has a tough job in his hands of integrating the new signings as quickly as possible and getting Bournemouth back on track.

Manchester City, on the other hand, are 2nd in the league, two points behind leaders Arsenal, who have a game in hand. There has been some inconsistency in their performances this season, despite Erling Haaland's incredible goalscoring habit.

They let go of full-back Joao Cancelo to Bayern Munich in January, a move which came as a surprise to many. Cancelo is regarded as one of the best full-backs in the world and was seen as an integral part of Guardiola's system at Manchester City.

It has been suggested that Cancelo's relationship with Guardiola was fractured, and there are signs that Manchester City could be aiming for a rebuild come summer.
