Manchester city vs Bournemouth'


  • Manchester City won both of their Premier League meetings with Bournemouth last season by a four goal margin (5-1 at home in October 2015, 4-0 away in April 2016).
  • These defeats were the Cherries' joint-heaviest in the Premier League in their inaugural season, also losing 5-1 to Spurs in October 2015.
  • Raheem Sterling's first Premier League hat-trick came against Bournemouth in October 2015.
  • The Cherries have never beaten Manchester City in the league (D2 L6).
  • This is Manchester City's 250th Premier League game at the Etihad Stadium, winning 61.5% of their league fixtures there since August 2003 (W153 D45 L51).
  • Kelechi Iheanacho has scored nine goals from just 13 shots on target in the Premier League for Manchester City.
  • Pep Guardiola has won his first four Premier League matches - the only manager to win their opening five games was Carlo Ancelotti at Chelsea (won his opening six).
  • Man City could become the second different team in top-flight history to win their opening five league games in consecutive seasons - Chelsea in 2009-10 and 2010-11 are the other.
  • Bournemouth's last seven Premier League goals have all been scored by different players (Elphick, Pugh, Ritchie, Smith, King, Wilson and a Smalling own-goal).
  • The Cherries have scored exactly one goal in eight of their last nine top-flight games, failing to score in the other fixture.
  • The Citizens are the only side yet to have been behind at any point in a Premier League match this season.
