Match Facts
Manchester City have won all eight of their Premier League home games against Bournemouth – in top-flight history, only Manchester United (16/16 v Luton) and City themselves (9/9 v Swansea) have a better 100% home win rate against an opponent.
Bournemouth have lost 15 of their 16 Premier League games against Manchester City, with the exception a 2-1 win at the Vitality Stadium last season.
Manchester City have already lost three Premier League games this season – it’s the first time they’ve lost as many as three of their opening nine games in a campaign since 2013-14, when they went on to win their second Premier League title.
Bournemouth are on the longest unbeaten run of any current Premier League side, going without defeat in eight games since their opening day loss at Liverpool (W5 D3). Their 18 points from nine games is their best start to a top-flight campaign.
Manchester City are averaging 13.7 shots per game in the Premier League this season, their lowest average across a single campaign since 2007-08 (11.1).
Bournemouth have scored more goals from outside the box than any other side in the Premier League this season (6), with Marcus Tavernier scoring directly from a corner against Nottingham Forest last time out.
Manchester City are the only side in the Premier League this season to spend more than half of their game time in a winning position (51.3%). However, Bournemouth have spent the fewest time trailing both overall (98m 13s) and as a percentage of game time (10.9%) this season.
If he plays, this will be Phil Foden’s 200th Premier League appearance. He would be the 15th player to reach this milestone for Manchester City, and the youngest to do so for the club (25y 158d on the day of the game).
Erling Haaland failed to score for just the second time in the Premier League this season in Man City’s 1-0 loss at Aston Villa last time out. Meanwhile, of the 23 sides the Norwegian has faced in the competition, only against Newcastle (447) does he have a worse minutes-per-goal average than he does against Bournemouth, netting just once in 439 minutes against the Cherries.
19-year-old Eli Kroupi has scored in each of his last three Premier League appearances for Bournemouth. Only three teenagers have ever scored in 4+ consecutive games in the competition – Robbie Fowler (3 times in 1994-95), Nicolas Anelka (twice in 1998-99) and Francis Jeffers (August/September 2000).
