Manchester City FC host AFC Bournemouth at the Etihad Stadium in a pivotal Premier League showdown. The Citizens aim to solidify their top-four aspirations after a slight dip in recent form, having not secured a win in their last three league matches. Meanwhile, Bournemouth look to pile the pressure on City's title rivals with a victory, boosted by their impressive 3-1 triumph over West Ham United in their previous outing.
