Who's playing? Manchester City will try to go 5-for-5 when they clash against Bournemouth. Guardiola's team comes fresh off two crucial wins: last week's 2-1 victory against Manchester United, and their successful UEFA Champions League debut against Borussia Mönchengladbach.
After a slow start of the tournament, Bournemouth has gone unbeaten during their two most recent games. A draw would be perfect for Eddie Howe's crew, considering they get to this match as major underdogs.

Team news
Pep Guardiola will have to adjust his starting lineup due to a number of complications. First off, Vincent Kompany hasn't been able to play all season due to physical problems, which has made way for Nicolas Otamendi and John Stones as center backs. David Silva has been dealing with thigh problems, and is likely to be left out of Saturday's clash. But the player that will be missed the most is Sergio Aguero, who will serve the second game of a three-match ban against the Cherries.
Stats show that "El Kun" has been quite an asset for Pep's crew.

The visitors have only been able to win four points this season, and coach Eddie Howe will need to step things up to keep his team away from relegation problems. Tyrone Mings is the only player providing injury concerns for the boss, which could give way for changes in the team's lineup, such as Jack Wilshere's first start with Bournemouth.
