Bournemouth are very dangerous this season. Arsenal have already made sure of that, and Aston Villa in the last round. The team is in good shape and 7 of their 12 points scored in the last four rounds. At home, Bournemouth has lost only once so far. In recent weeks, they have improved their defense and started to concede less.
This week Manchester City lost for the first time in the season. The reserve team’s trip to Tottenham in the League Cup proved to be a difficult one for the Citizens. But in the Premier League, Manchester City are doing very well so far. Even with two draws in nine rounds, Pep Guardiola’s team tops the standings.
Manchester City’s defense recently very rarely keeps their gates intact. Bournemouth at home will get many chances to score, but it is unlikely that they will be able not to concede. They can’t hold back a rested Holland.
