What has been Bournemouth and Manchester City's form ahead of this match?
Bournemouth enters this match in one of their worst streaks of the season, since they have lost three out of their last four, with the other game ending in a draw.

Since then, the Cherries have only been able to score two goals while conceding eleven times.
Manchester City has won five out of their last six, with the only exception being that 2-1 loss against Newcastle. In the next four games after that loss, Manchester City has scored 12 goals while conceding only one.
What is the current position of Bournemouth and Manchester City in the English Premier League?
Bournemouth gets to this match in 12th place of the Premier League. The Cherries have managed to win 10 games, while drawing 4 and losing fourteen. So far, Eddie Howe's men have found the back of the net 39 times, which is just over half of the total goalscoring tally sported by Manchester City (75).
Manchester City lost the top of the Premier League despite their perfect form in recent games. Guardiola's men have won 22 of their 28 games, with only two draws and four losses. The Citizens can also brag about their impressive defense, which has allowed 20 goals, good enough for the second place in the EPL behind Liverpool's 15 goals conceded.
