Bournemouth vs Man City predicted line-ups: What time, what channel, how can I watch online, team news, odds and more

A look ahead to the Premier League fixture at the Vitality Stadium

Manchester City will go above Liverpool in the table for at least 24 hours with a win at Bournemouth on Saturday.

The Cherries are on a very poor run of form, having lost three of their last four games, the last of which came in a 5-1 thrashing at the Emirates on Wednesday. They sit in 12th, on 34 points.

Including the penalty-shoot-out win against Chelsea in the Carabao Cup final last Sunday, Manchester City have won their last seven games, and came through against West Ham in midweek courtesy of a Sergio Aguero penalty.

That leaves them a point behind Liverpool in the title race, with ten games to go.

In December’s reverse fixture, Pep Guardiola’s side were made to work hard for a 3-1 win, with Bernado Silva, Raheem Sterling and Ilkay Gundogan all getting on the scoresheet.

What time does it start?

Bournemouth vs Manchester City kicks off at 3:00pm (GMT) on Saturday 2 March.
