Bournemouth vs. Man City: Citizens Need a Win to Stay in Title Race

Advertisement

Manchester City travels to Bournemouth for a crucial clash in the 37th round of the Premier League. The "Citizens" need nothing less than a victory to push the title race to the final matchday, where they will host Aston Villa. Arsenal, currently leading the standings by five points, faces Crystal Palace away. Any other result tonight would crown the "Gunners" champions. This match also marks City's first outing since yesterday's sensational news that these are Pep Guardiola's final games at the helm.

Meanwhile, the "Cherries" are also fighting hard in what has been a remarkable season for them. They currently sit in sixth place, on the cusp of securing European football, and with a bit more luck, even a Champions League spot next year. A win today would guarantee the hosts a place in Europe.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola makes two changes to his starting lineup from the FA Cup final victory against Chelsea over the weekend. As expected, Gianluigi Donnarumma returns between the posts, replacing James Trafford. Omar Marmoush also makes way, but surprisingly, Mateo Kovacic steps in instead of Rayan Cherki.

Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola, for whom this is his final home game in charge of the "Cherries," makes one change to his squad. He brings Tyler Adams into the starting eleven, replacing Ryan Christie.
