MATCH PREVIEWManchester City Begin Premier League Campaign Against Bournemouth Under Etihad PressureManchester City start as favourites because of their outstanding Etihad record against Bournemouth and the greater continuity expected from the home side. Bournemouth’s unavailable players make their task harder, but their recent results suggest they can still pose a threat if they defend patiently and attack at speed.
MATCH REPORT2-1 comeback: Manchester City turn possession into late victory over BournemouthManchester City recovered from Marcus Tavernier’s opener to defeat Bournemouth 2-1, with Marc Guéhi and Joško Gvardiol scoring late goals after Rayan Cherki supplied both assists.
