The Citizens will aim to overturn a winless streak when they travel to Bournemouth on Saturday.

Manchester City will be eyeing a return to winning ways when they travel to take on relegation-threatened Bournemouth on Saturday night. The Citizens will be looking to end a run of two games without a win when they grace the Vitality Stadium as another slip up could harm their chances of retaining the Premier League.

Pep Guardiola's men were anything but ruthless in their two other away games this week as they were left to rue missed chances against both Nottingham Forest and RB Leipzig. Despite taking the lead against both club, they were forced to share the spoils after conceding later on in the encounter. In the case of the draw with Forest, City missed out on remaining atop the Premier League table as a subsequent dramatic win for Arsenal in their trip to Villa, resulted in them being demoted to second place.

At the moment, five points separates the Manchester club and the Gunners who are set to take on Leicester City in this gameweek. As far as City's chances go, there is still a lot to be desired. Pep's charges have failed to win five of their last six away matches, and have conceded in each of their previous five. Needless to say, their 4-0 hammering of Bournemouth in the first round should serve up enough motivation ahead of this weekend's encounter.

For the Cherries, it has barely been a memorable season and the objective to remain in the league keeps quivering. Currently 17th on the league log, the Vitalty Stadium outfit recorded their first win in 10 games across all competitions, thanks to a shock 1-0 victory at Wolves last week. There is still much work to be done, and while the upcoming run of matches barely promises any good tidings, they will desire an upturn in form to add to their quest of staying up.

Needless to say, there will be required to make history in order to get the better of City. So far, they have lost each of their last 11 matches against the Citizens and have never beaten them in 17 previous league outings. It is the most times a single premiership club has faced another without ever winning in the competition's history. Coming into the game with just three wins in 11 league matches at home this season, a tough test, indeed, lies ahead for the Cherries.
