Bournemouth vs Manchester City Odds

Match Result - Manchester City

The onus will be on City to get a result here, and backing them to do seems a solid option, given that they've been in this position so many times before under Pep Guardiola's stewardship.

Fresh off their FA Cup triumph, Guardiola's men are unbeaten in their last 10 matches - winning nine of them - and City won the reverse fixture against Bournemouth 3-1 back in November.

Yes, City dropped points in their most recent away trip to Everton, but I believe they'll take this title race down to the final day.

Both Teams to Score - Yes

Even though I fancy a City win, Bournemouth can certainly make life difficult for the defending champions as they're in with a shout of qualifying for Europe themselves.

Both teams to score is a bet that has landed in 10 of the last 13 meetings across all competitions between the two sides, and although the Cherries have kept two clean sheets in their two most recent outings, City have netted 10 times across their last four matches, and will be difficult to keep out here.

Player Shown Any Card - Bernardo Silva

Manchester City's wiry midfielder has been cautioned 10 times this season in the Premier League - only three players have been booked more.

The Portugal international is committing an average of 1.14 fouls per 90 minutes in the top flight, so he looks a sensible pick to find his way into the referee's notebook on Tuesday night.

The referee in question is Anthony Taylor who has dished out seven yellows in four City matches he's taken charge of this term. In fact, across the last three fixtures he's overseen in the Premier League, the total number of yellow cards that have bee given out is 11.

Player to Score a Header - Erling Haaland

Erling Haaland cut a frustrating figure at times during Saturday's FA Cup final as he desperately attempted to score his first goal in a final for City.

However, he can make amends here by keeping City's title hopes alive, and rather than backing him to net anytime which has next-to-no value at 3/5, I'm tipping the big Norwegian to score a header.

The 25-year-old has 26 goals to his name in the league, and he's bagged with his noggin on three occasions this term. In addition, Haaland scored a brace in the reverse fixture against the Cherries.
