Manchester City return to Premier League action this afternoon when they face Mauricio Pochettino's Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
Phil Foden has wish granted by Pep Guardiola in missed Man City moments vs Bournemouth
05.11.2023 - 09:05 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Manchester City ran riot against Bournemouth on Saturday.
The plaudits have gone to Jeremy Doku for his four assists and opening strike in the 6-1 rout. He has given Pep Guardiola a selection headache ahead of Young Boys in Tuesday’s Champions League clash.
Bernardo Silva notched a brace while Phil Foden, Manuel Akanji and Nathan Ake all got on the scoresheet at the Etihad. The win took them to the top of the table for the evening after Arsenal lost to Newcastle in the late kick-off. Here are three things City fans may have missed during the game on Saturday.

When Erling Haaland was taken off at the interval after picking up a knock, Foden was the man chosen to come on. For a period of the game, he appeared to fill the Kevin De Bruyne role as Julian Alvarez was pushed up front.
Foden has frequently spoken about the No.10 position being his favoured spot and Guardiola may have shown that he is his third choice behind De Bruyne and Alvarez, which will encourage him given Guardiola had Jack Grealish and Bernardo who he could have used.
City showed why they are Treble winners on the pitch during the game and at half-time, Blues fans were shown the trophies that were lifted from last season’s historic campaign. The Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League trophies were on display, alongside the UEFA Super Cup won in August.
City face a tough task in defending all of their titles this season but have made a good start domestically and in Europe. A win over Young Boys on Tuesday will see the champions through to the Champions League knockout stages with two matchdays to spare.
