Manchester City will be looking to return to winning ways in the Premier League when they welcome high-flying Bournemouth to the Etihad Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
The Citizens saw their nine-game unbeaten run in all competitions ended at Villa Park last weekend as they suffered a narrow 1-0 top-flight defeat to Aston Villa.
However, Pep Guardiola’s men were victorious in the fourth round of the EFL Cup on Wednesday night as they came from behind to beat Championship outfit Swansea City 3-1 in South Wales.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up Man City’s latest injury and suspension news ahead of this weekend’s contest with Andoni Iraola’s side.
