Manchester City’s 2019-20 season has been very disappointing overall. For this team, with such ambitions, led by one of the best coaches in the world Pep Guardiola, not winning the Champions League, nor the championship is a failed season. In the league, Liverpool had taken the lead too quickly while in the Champions League, Lyon had achieved a feat in Lisbon against Cityzens (1-3). For their return to the Premier League in an official match, the Sky Blues easily disposed of a dangerous and formidable Wolverhampton team in the transition phase (1-3).
Opposite, Bournemouth had been in the Premier League the year before, but at the end of an overall failed season when the team seemed to be on the rise, they came down to the Championship by finishing the 2019-20 Premier League in 18th place of the rank. A cruel disillusionment for Bournemouth who lost his support on a penultimate day on his lawn, for the reception of a formation from Southampton who had nothing more to play (0-2). However, the Cherries had a good comeback at the lower echelon with a victory over Blackburn (3-2) and a draw against Middlesbrough last weekend. Between these two encouraging performances, Bournemouth beat Crystal Palace to access this 3rd round against the Citizens.
The workforce for Manchester City vs Bournemouth
This summer, Manchester City turned a page by letting go of the historic David Silva who had, however, played less during the last season. German winger Sané (Bayern Munich) has also left the club, as has substitute goalkeeper Claudio Bravo (Bétis). The team has however strengthened with the arrival of defender Nathan Aké (Bournemouth) and winger Ferran Torres (Valencia). Pep Guardiola can always count on goalkeeper Ederson, defenders Walker and Laporte, midfielders Rodri, Bernardo Silva, and De Bruyne, and forwards Mahrez, Sterling, and Aguero. Injured at the end of last season, the latter should not finally return until November. Laporte injured and Gündogan (tested positive for coronavirus) will have to observe a period of quarantine. Scorer on penalty, decisive on the second goal, and passer on the third, De Bruyne seems to be in great shape.
Of course, the relegation of Bournemouth has caused the departure of some good elements. Like Nathan Ake, Callum Wilson or Fraser (the last two mentioned left for … Newcastle) who left their partners at the end of the season. Incumbent goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale has meanwhile decided to join Sheffield United. Executives Lerma, Steve Cook, and Joshua King are always present in this team. The Cherries team keeps a good backbone and a solid team to get back up in BPL. Expected at the turn this season, Solanke has already scored a goal and delivered an assist in the league. For this match, the all-important Josh King and Charlie Daniels are injured while goalkeeper Begovic and Diego Rico are uncertain.
