Manchester City vs Bournemouth: Preview
It’s been a huge summer of change over on the blue half of Manchester, with the big news of Pep Guardiola’s eventual exit at the Etihad Stadium.
Maresca is now tasked with leading the Cityzens into a new era, and was going well at Stamford Bridge before his exit meant the Italian was briefly out of work, amid some talk that City had already been in touch about a potential move for his services.
Elliot Anderson is the big signing of the summer, only eclipsed in fees now by Morgan Rogers’s move to Chelsea, with the ex-Nottingham Forest man costing £116m.
Rodri, Savinho, Bernardo Silva, John Stones, Nathan Ake, James Trafford, Tijani Reijnders and Manuel Akanji have all left the club, with a huge shake-up now in full flow as City’s 116 Premier League case awaits a final verdict.

Bournemouth, as mentioned, have also had a switcheroo in their dugout, with Rose arriving from spells in Germany with the likes of Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig.
High pressing and forward football are on the menu for the Cherries this summer, with Marcos Senesi’s move to Tottenham the only notable exit.
Keeping hold of superstars such as Rayan, Alex Scott and Eli Junior Kroupi has been big, although they will likely eventually move on for huge transfer fees, as Bournemouth continues to impress with their brilliant scouting.
António Silva is the big-money signing from Benfica and, at 22, is expected to partner James Hill at the back on Sunday in Manchester.
FourFourTwo’s prediction
Manchester City 2-1 Bournemouth
Tighter than expected, City will just about get over the line despite falling behind.
