As you might have expected, Man City are the massive favourite to win at the Vitality Stadium, and we can't argue with that.

Bournemouth vs Man City Lineups
Bournemouth
The Cherries picked up a really good win last weekend away at Wolves, against the odds. A solitary strike from Tavernier in the 49th minute proved enough for the visitors to secure a much-needed 3pts that took them out of the relegation zone. Brooks, Cook and Kelly remain sidelined through injury, while there are also doubts over Zabarnyi, Tavernier, Lerma, Zemura and Stanislas ahead of this weekend's match against Man City.
Predicted Lineup: Neto (GK), Smith, Stephens, Senesi, Zemura, Lerma, Billing, Tavernier, Traorè, Solanke & Ouattara
Man City
Man City would have expected to win away at Nottingham Forest last time out, and on the balance of play they should have. Silva fired Guiardiola's men in front in the 41st-minute but City, and in particular, Haaland, missed a number of golden opportunities to wrap up the points and it ended up costing them dearly. The hosts managed to equalise in the 84th-minute through substitute Chris Wood after good work from Gibbs-White and Forest held on to claim an unexpected point.
Predicted Lineup: Ederson (GK), Walker, Laporte, Dias, Gündoğan, De Bruyne, Grealish, Silva, Rodri, Foden & Haaland

Player to Watch: Erling Haaland
Man City's superstar striker missed some guilt-edged chances away at Nottingham Forest last time out and it ended up costing his side the victory.
With that in mind, we're predicting a big performance from the young Norwegian striker who has already ingrained himself in Premier League history with 26-goals in his debut campaign. Haaland is a very determined player and will be out to make up for his poor finishing in the last game and the Bournemouth defence better prepare themselves.
Despite those misses, Haaland has scored 5-goals in his last eight games in all competitions, so even when he is going through a ‘poor patch' he still scores plenty of goals.
