MOTD COMMENTATOR'S NOTES
@Wilsonfooty: Bournemouth at home are a completely different prospect to Bournemouth away. The side which has lost its last 10 away games is certainly capable of troubling Manchester City at the Vitality Stadium.
It must be a real conundrum for manager Eddie Howe, who was in the Bournemouth team the last time they avoided defeat against City - that was a third-tier game in 1999.
City will go top if they draw, but need to win to apply real added pressure to Liverpool, who will be preparing for the Merseyside derby.
After their unexpected defeats at Newcastle and Leicester, Pep Guardiola will be wary.
VIEW FROM THE DUGOUT
Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe: "We're not safe [from relegation]. Things can change very quickly in football. We know the teams above us are still within touching distance, as are the teams below us.
"We know we have the capabilities and qualities to beat anyone at home. It'll be tough and we'll need everyone - players, fans, staff - right at it."
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola: "We are one point below [Liverpool] and many things are going to happen.
"We don't think if we win everything is perfect, or if we lose it is a disaster. We don't think too much.
"I'm not concerned about the pressure and the future; nobody knows - not even the pundits."
LAWRO'S PREDICTION
I know Bournemouth have got a good home record but that just means they will attack City, and that will suit Pep Guardiola's side.
Prediction: 0-3

MATCH FACTS
Head-to-head
-
Manchester City are unbeaten in all 13 meetings, winning the seven Premier League fixtures by an aggregate score of 24-3.
The Cherries have only avoided defeat in one of their six home games against City, a goalless draw in the third tier 20 years ago.
Bournemouth's only goal at home in those six matches came from Charlie Daniels in a 2-1 defeat last season.
Bournemouth
-
The Cherries could equal the club Premier League record of six consecutive home fixtures unbeaten, set from May to October last year.
Their tally of 25 points at home is the most this season among clubs outside the established top six.
Their six most recent home defeats in the league have come against established top-six sides, including all three losses this season.
Joshua King has scored four goals in his last three league games at home.
Ryan Fraser has nine assists this season but has failed to score or provide an assist in each of his last seven league appearances.
Manchester City
-
Pep Guardiola's side have won three successive league games without conceding. They last managed four wins with clean sheets in September 2017.
City have lost three of their past six Premier League away games, as many defeats as in their previous 35.
They have dropped 16 points this season - already two more than in the whole of 2017-18.
Three of their four league defeats this season have come after scoring the opening goal.
Raheem Sterling has scored in all six Premier League appearances against Bournemouth.
Sergio Aguero is the Premier League's top scorer this season with 18 goals, but only three have come away from home.
