Bournemouth who sit in 11th position in the standings are set to take on table toppers Manchester City in round ten of the Premier League action at Vitality Stadium on Saturday aiming to secure their first victory over the reigning champions.
After a mixed start to the campaign, Bournemouth are finally starting to show promise, putting in two impressive performances against Arsenal and Aston Villa. The Cherries have accumulated 12 points from the starting nine games and will be in high spirits against Manchester City with home advantage on their side. Andoni Iraola who has developed an excellent reputation with the club will be delighted by the character his team has shown in recent games.
Manchester City on the other hand will be aiming to bounce back to winning ways after getting eliminated by the hands of Tottenham Hotspur in the Carabao Cup. Having started the season from where they left off last term, the reigning champions are currently leading the Premier League table after nine games and remain the only team in the division to stay undefeated. Despite missing several key players, Pep Guardiola has made full use of his bench strength with Matheus Nunes and Mateo Kovacic the latest beneficiary to catch the eye with their performances.

Players to Watch
Antoine Semenyo (Bournemouth)
Antoine Semenyo remains the player to watch out for in this game and can prove to be the game-changer for Cherries with his explosive pace, goal-scoring prowess, and directness in the final third. Semenyo has built a reputation for scoring goals from anywhere across the opponent area, with his excellent finishing and technique. This season he has already scored three and assisted another one.
Erling Haaland (Manchester City)
Erling Haaland has become a goalscoring monster for Manchester City who is ruthless in front of the goal and doesnāt seem to be stopping scoring anytime soon. The Norwegian has already scored 11 goals from the opening nine games and will be the player to look out for in this game. Having already won back-to-back Golden Boots for the past two seasons, he seems the favourite to win this time again after a fantastic start to the season.
