Manchester City achieved an unprecedented four consecutive championships last season, and also achieved an unbeaten record at the beginning of this season. However, with Rodri's serious injury and de Bruyne's age declined. Manchester City experienced a five-month low. The team was eliminated from the League Cup and the Champions League. Although the FA Cup reached the final, it eventually became the first top event champion at Crystal Palace in more than 120 years. In the Premier League, Manchester City's condition was also ups and downs. In the last round of the league, they drew with deputy squad leader Southampton away. They currently ranked 6th in the standings with 65 points with 19 wins, 8 draws and 9 losses. They are 1 point behind Newcastle, Chelsea and Aston Villa, who are one more game, and are on the same points as Nottingham Forest behind them. It is still full of suspense to compete for the Champions League next season.

Manchester City scored 67 goals in the first 36 rounds of the league and conceded 43 goals, ranking third in the Premier League, but also ranked third in defense. A total of 18 players in the team scored goals, and the frontcourt offense blossomed in multiple points. Haaland scored 30 goals in various competitions and had 4 assists, making him the team's number one scorer.

Bornemouth successfully relegated early this season, and after relegation in advance, he fell into a trough of nine consecutive rounds of unwinding. In the last round of the league, Bournemouth lost to Aston Villa at home. He currently has 53 points with 14 wins, 11 draws and 11 losses, ranking 11th in the standings, scoring 55 goals and conceding 43 goals, attacking and defending.

Judging from the injuries of the two teams, in Manchester City, players such as Bob, Kovasic, Rodri, Stones, and Aker were injured and unable to play. Bournemouth, Junar, Sistra, Ouattara, Christie and Scott were absent due to injury. Judging from the two teams' confrontation records, Manchester City has an absolute advantage in the last 10 matches. In the first leg of this season, Manchester City lost away, but in the FA Cup, Manchester City defeated Bournemouth away to complete revenge.

For Manchester City, losing the FA Cup final in the last game, the four major seasons were empty, and the morale of the players was greatly hit. However, Manchester City players still need to work hard to compete for the next season's Champions League qualification, and Bournemouth has no desires, so it is highly likely that Manchester City will score three-pointers at home in this game. In addition, at home, De Bruyne will usher in a farewell match at Etihad. If Manchester City wins, they will rise to third place, and the UEFA Champions League quota will basically be stable.
