Team news & probable lineups

This article should be checked again after the FA Cup final on Saturday, 16 May, because City's XI may depend heavily on minutes and knocks from Wembley.

Bournemouth are expected to keep a front-foot 4-2-3-1 with Rayan and Alex Scott central to their transition game. City could rotate around Erling Haaland and Jeremy Doku, with Rodri's recent fitness status still one to monitor.

Bournemouth (4-2-3-1, provisional): Petrovic; Smith, Zabarnyi, Senesi, Kerkez; Adams, Scott; Semenyo, Kluivert, Rayan; Evanilson.

Manchester City (4-1-4-1, provisional): Ederson; Lewis, Dias, Gvardiol, Ait-Nouri; Rodri; Doku, Foden, De Bruyne, Savinho; Haaland.

Head-to-head & form

  • City enter the run-in chasing Arsenal and playing through a compressed schedule. Bournemouth, meanwhile, have built one of the league's stronger mid-table campaigns and will see this as a chance to disrupt the title race.

Key pre-match stats

  • Rayan is in scoring rhythm for Bournemouth, finding the net in each of his last three league appearances and attempting multiple shots in all three.
  • Alex Scott has been involved in plenty of contact: he has conceded at least two fouls in three of his last four matches and won multiple fouls in three of his previous four.
  • Jeremy Doku has been decisive away from home, with four direct goal involvements across his last three Premier League road games.
  • City's schedule is the hidden variable: they play this match three days after the FA Cup final.
