Arsenal's recent form and relentlessly miserly defence means eight-time Premier League winners Man City - now nine points off the pace - know they can ill-afford to drop any more points this afternoon.
Pep Guardiola's side had been steadily improving before stumbling to a 1-0 loss at Aston Villa last weekend. There has been a major overreliance on Erling Haaland for goals but midweek saw Jeremy Doku, Omar Marmoush and Rayan Cherki get on the scoresheet in the Carabao Cup at Swansea.
High-flying Bournemouth come into the game having not lost since the opening day. Liverpool's overdue win over Villa last night mean they need to avoid defeat to retain second spot in the table.
Andoni Iraola's side have been one of the stories of the season so far and will fancy their chances here. Keep reading for more on a huge Sky Bet promotion for the match.

Man City vs. Bournemouth prediction
With 11 Premier League goals already to his name in the 2025/26 season, last weekend at Villa was just the second time Erling Haaland had failed to score.
Strangely he has just scored just once in seven games against the Cherries, which means by the law of averages, he is due to score this afternoon at the Etihad.
With the likes of Semenyo, Iraola's side will be a real threat and should score but TSN's Pete Fitzpatrick is backing the brilliant Norwegian to lead City to a narrow victory on Super Sunday.
