Kick-off promises fireworks as Erling Haaland, in red-hot scoring form, faces a Bournemouth side defying expectations early in the campaign.

Manchester City to Win & Over 2.5 Goals<\/strong><\/td>\n13\/10 @ Bet365<\/a>
(43.5%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nBournemouth have been a bettor\u2019s delight for goals in away matches, with 14 of their last 16 road games topping 2.5 goals. Since last season, their trips against the previous campaign\u2019s top five sides have averaged 3.9 goals per game. With in-form forwards like Erling Haaland and Antoine Semenyo leading the line, another high-scoring encounter seems likely, with City just edging ahead.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Under 3.5 Cards<\/strong><\/td>\n19\/20 @ Bet365<\/a>
(51.3%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nAnthony Taylor is the man in the middle for this clash. The official gave out zero cards in the Manchester derby and he has one of the lowest yellow cards per game averages in the league this term. Taylor has dished out 2.75 yellows this season, giving plenty of value to the 19\/20 on show for Under 3.5 on Sunday.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n
