Will Guardiola’s team manage to win the Champions League this year. We don’t know, of course, but it’s a question that everyone has been asking themselves. In the meantime, however, the English champions have the minimum goal of the season to take back the Premier League once again. Of course, with the addition of Haaland, the feeling is that there can be no real history in the league. Especially if the Citizens continue to prove that they are a hungry team, that thinks only and exclusively about winning, always. That is the goal of the Catalan coach, who of course, against Bournemouth at home shouldn’t have any kind of problem really.
One thing, however, about the visiting team really needs to be said. The debut couldn’t have been any better against Aston Villa for a team that came from Serie B and are only and exclusively looking for salvation. A two-nil win, in front of their own fans, that raised, if there was still a need, the enthusiasm of a team and of an entire fan base. Which, moreover, will apparently turn up en masse at the Etihad. No one, despite the risk of boarding, wants to miss this event, which in some ways is truly historic.

The Prediction
What difficulty could Guardiola’s Manchester City find in such a match? The answer is really simple, none. In fact, it promises to be a challenge of at least three goals in total with a victory for Guardiola’s troop written all over it. Thus, the hosts would remain on full points. Another feeling? Only one team could find the way to the net.
The likely Manchester City-Bournemouth line-ups
MANCHESTER CITY (4-3-3): Ederson; Walker, Dias, Ake, Cancelo; De Bruyne, Rodri, Gundogan; Foden, Haaland, Grealish.
BOURNEMOUTH (5-3-2): Travers; Smith, Lerma, Mepham, Kelly, Zemura; Pearson, Billing, Tavernier; Moore, Solanke.
POSSIBLE RESULT: 3-0
