Manchester City will be looking to maintain pressure on the title race but in order to do that they will of course need to address their attacking issues of late. Just one goal in their last two league matches is not ideal especially with the number of shots they had last weekend against Chelsea.
However, they are on an impressive 16-match unbeaten run in all competitions and Pep Guardiola expects his side to add the pressure on Liverpool - who face the Blues in the Carabao Cup this weekend. They face a Bournemouth side who have failed to score just once in their last 15 outings in all competitons.
Bournemouth will be looking at Dominic Solanke to produce the goods in this high-profile match as the Cherries look to produce a shock against City. However, the hosts are extremely reliant on the former Liverpool striker's efforts with 14 league goals so far this season with second top scorer Antoine Semenyo producing just four goals.
Justin Kluivert and Marcus Senesei have picked up three goals apiece so far in the league this season.
Erling Haaland is Manchester City's top scorer this season with an impressive 17 goals in the Premier League alone and 24 in all competitions. Argentine Julian Alvarez and Phil Foden are City's joint second top scorers this season at the moment with eight goals each.
