Defeat at the weekend for Man City was a bit of a shock, but Bournemouth is a tough place to go, as teams are finding out. I watched Chelsea win away there earlier this season, and I was really impressed with them, and they got a great result against City.

However, I do fancy City to bounce back, starting in this game. It’s very rare that City go two or three games without picking up a result.

Sporting are obviously dealing with the news of Amorim leaving, and that’s a strange situation for them to deal with, as he’s so pivotal to what they do.

I think Man City will just have too much and they will get the win here. I also fancy them to keep a clean sheet too, they have not conceded in the Champions League this season, and that is crucial.

They have made mistakes in recent league games, and I’ve never seen them concede so many chances, so I imagine Pep will be really hammering home on improving that, so I expect them to keep a clean sheet.

I liked the look of Phil Foden over the weekend, I thought he looked sharp against Bournemouth, even though he’s not having the season start he would love to, but I fancy him to score in this game.
