I want to see a big improvement from last week TBH. We have a great home record against these having won the last 8 whilst scoring 31. Rather think it's likely to be much closer today though as Bournemouth are playing well this season and Semenyo is a big threat

Cherki surely has to start? Hopefully Haaland has nursed his balls back after colliding with the post last week as well!

A nervy 2-1 Reijnders and Cherki

I'm sure I won't be the only pessimistic poster today.

We will be lucky if we only drop 2 points.

Haaland has begin a goal drought, which might help us in the long term by forcing us to fnd other ways of scoring.

Dippers and rags will remain ahead of us at the end of the day.

Bournemouth's quick breaks could be devastating. But we do tend to do well at home.

Everyone thinks Cherki should start - but we all know what that means :D

If sense prevails there's a queue of likely candidates who shouldn't start ahead of him - Bobb, Foden, Savinho, the bad version of Doku, Bernardo Silva..........

City win with a scare. 5-2

Half decent side, with Cherki in the middle with Foden, hopefully

Reijnders taking a well deserved place on the bench

Is Bobb injured? Not even in the squad

We were lucky there.

There was no need for him to be offside looking across the back line.
