Man City is currently in fourth place in the standings with 15 wins, six draws and nine losses for 51 points. They’ve scored 52 goals and allowed 32 against. City lost their last league match 1-0 in the Manchester derby to Manchester United two weeks ago. They have five victories on the road to go with five draws and four defeats with 13 goals scored and 14 allowed. They’ve posted eight clean sheets on their travels and have failed to find the back of the net six times. Overall, the club has registered 13 clean sheets and has been shut out eight times. City has two wins, three draws and just one loss in their past half dozen road contests.
Bournemouth was beaten 3-0 at White Hart Lane by Tottenham Hotspur in their last match two weeks ago and are hoping their fortunes change in their return home. Man City is still involved in the European Champions League and takes on Paris Saint Germain next week. However, they can’t afford any slip ups in the Premier League as they’re just one point ahead of West Ham United and Man City. The club’s hopes for a shot at the league title don’t look realistic at this stage as they’re 15 back of league-leading Leicester City, but they do have a game in hand on them. City has just a win and draw in their past six games though and has dropped 14 points in that stretch.
