South coast outfit Bournemouth has taken results in three of their last four Premier League matches with manager Gary O’Neil looking to remain on the right side of the form table when they welcome Manchester City to Vitality Stadium in a clash that must come with a positive result for the Cherries for them to hopefully remain outside of the bottom three.
A 1-0 win last time out against Wolves came in the wake of a 0-0 draw against Newcastle United in a very credible result on their recent CV, and there is scope to suggest that a result can be had on the day given City’s recent struggled to remain consistent in the form table in their own right.

- Out: David Brooks, Lewis Cook
- Doubt: Jefferson Lerma, Lloyd Kelly, Illia Zabarnyi, Marcus Tavernier, Junior Stanislas, Jordan Zemura
Gary O’Neil faces the prospect of welcoming Manchester City to the south coast at Vitality Stadium but will have a handful of possible selection headaches to contend with at the weekend, with Bournemouth possibly without up to eight players depending on final late assessments.
There are no questions surrounding the availability of either David Brooks or Lewis Cook, with the pair remaining sidelined via injury and unavailable to be called upon.
Illia Zabarnyi (ankle) and Jefferson Lerma (illness) could make returns after recovering from their respective issues, while Lloyd Kelly and Junior Stanislas are also in line to come back into the fold subject to clearance. However, both Jordan Zemura and Marcus Tavernier came off injured in the 1-0 away win over Wolves and could miss out on the squad at the weekend.
