Man City vs Bournemouth Tips

Tip 1

Despite missing six league games with an ankle injury, Erling Haaland still has 21 top flight goals to his name – the third-highest tally in the division for the 2024/25 campaign.

Across all competitions, the Norwegian has 30 in 42 appearances and has struck five times in his last eight outings, scoring in three of his last four league fixtures staged at the Etihad.

Tip 2

Bournemouth will give City a good go at the very least on Tuesday and winger Antoine Semenyo’s pressing will certainly contribute to his side’s success.

The 24 year old doesn’t shy away from his defensive duties, and that willingness to press has seen him handed nine yellows in 35 PL games this term.

Only Ipswich Town’s Liam Delap (70) has given away more fouls than Semenyo (68), who’s committed at least one for 10 consecutive matches, racking up 21 during this period.

Man City Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up

After Saturday’s FA Cup final blow against Crystal Palace, Manchester City will endure a trophyless season for the first time in nine years, with Champions League football still left to secure for the next campaign.

Mateo Kovacic’s availability remains unconfirmed ahead of this clash after being kept out of Saturday’s final with a knock. He could join Rodri, Oscar Bobb, John Stones and Nathan Ake on the City sidelines.

Man City Predicted XI: Ederson; Nunes, Dias, Gvardiol, O’Reilly; Gonzalez, Gundogan; Savinho, De Bruyne, Marmoush; Haaland.

Bournemouth Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up

The Cherries have tailed off recently, winning only one of their last four matches and sitting on the sidelines for 10 days since a 1-0 home defeat to Aston Villa.

Alex Scott has undergone surgery for a broken jaw following an elbow from Villa defender Tyrone Mings and will miss the rest of the season. Enes Unal, Ryan Christie, Dango Ouattara and Luis Sinisterra have all made their final appearances for the club this term also.

Bournemouth Predicted XI: Kepa; Smith, Zabarnyi, Huijsen, Kerkez; Cook, Adams; Semenyo, Kluivert, Tavernier; Evanilson.
