sportsmole.co.uk, 31 October 2024, 15:07

Manchester City will be looking to return to winning ways when they travel to the Vitality Stadium to face Bournemouth in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.

The Citizens are yet to lose in the top flight this term, but they have been knocked out of the EFL Cup after suffering a 2-1 defeat at Tottenham Hotspur in the last 16 on Wednesday night.

Pep Guardiola's side return to Premier League action sitting top of the table, while Bournemouth are down in 11th place and have collected four points from their last two games, with a 2-0 win over Arsenal followed by a 1-1 draw at Aston Villa last weekend.

Here, Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at the head-to-head record and previous meetings between the two sides.

Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 21

Bournemouth wins: 0

Draws: 2

Man City wins: 19

Manchester City's record against Bournemouth is nothing short of exceptional, as they have won an impressive 19 times and have drawn two of their 21 meetings with the Cherries across all competitions.

Bournemouth have drawn two and lost 18 of their 20 league encounters with the Citizens, the most one side has faced another without ever winning in English Football League history.

The two teams butted heads for the first time back in December 1987 when Man City beat Bournemouth 2-0 away from home in the old Division Two, before winning the reverse fixture by the same scoreline two months later.

Since Bournemouth secured promotion to the top flight for the first time in 2015, Man City have beaten the Cherries in all 14 Premier League meetings by an aggregate score of 45-7, and this is the best 100% record any team has against another in English top-flight history.

Man City have scored four or more goals in seven Premier League games against Bournemouth, including a thumping 6-1 victory at the Etihad Stadium in November 2023 - their biggest-ever win over the Cherries to date.

The only time Man City and Bournemouth have not faced each other in the league was in September 2020 when Pep Guardiola's side secured a 2-1 home win in the third round of the EFL Cup.

Raheem Sterling is the highest-scoring player in this fixture with nine goals in as many Premier League games for Man City, while Phil Foden and Sergio Aguero are next on the list with five goals each.
