Manchester City will look to stay in the Premier League title race when they travel to Bournemouth on Tuesday evening.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pep Guardiola’s side have recovered well from their 3-3 draw at Everton, winning both their league games 3-0 against Brentford and Crystal Palace, before beating Chelsea 1-0 in the FA Cup final. However, they still trail leaders Arsenal by two points with two games to go, with the Gunners hosting Burnley a night earlier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Man City predicted lineup vs Bournemouth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Man City predicted XI (4-2-3-1):<\/strong>\u00a0Donnarumma; Nunes, Khusanov, Guehi, O’Reilly; Rodri, Silva; Semenyo, Cherki, Doku; Haaland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guardiola made a couple of surprise changes for the FA Cup final at the weekend, most notably playing Omar Marmoush alongside Erling Haaland for the first half. <\/p>\n\n\n

    However, it’s hard to see Pep doing that again here, with Man City’s Premier League title and domestic treble hopes on the line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Rayan Cherki is likely to come back into the starting line-up on the South Coast, joining the likes of Haaland, Antoine Semenyo and the in-form Jeremy Doku in a terrifying forward line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Nico O’Reilly will be keen to keep his place at left-back after another strong showing at Wembley, despite Josko Gvardiol clocking 58 minutes in Man City’s 3-0 win over Crystal Palace in their last Premier League outing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Gianluigi Donnarumma will return between the sticks in place of James Trafford. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

    Rodri was Man City’s only fitness doubt ahead of the FA Cup final, but the Spaniard came through 65 minutes unscathed before being rested with the introduction of Mateo Kovacic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    With that in mind, Guardiola should have a full-strength squad to pick from at the Vitality Stadium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
