Manchester City will look to quickly get back to winning ways after suffering their first loss of the campaign in the League Cup on Wednesday.
The Premier League leaders were knocked out of the cup after a 2-1 defeat against Tottenham and what preceded that was a run of 14 matches without a loss, so Pep Guardiola has the rare task this week of picking up his players.
City face a Bournemouth side that recently claimed the scalp of Arsenal so this one is certainly not a foregone conclusion for the Spaniard and his charges.

Unfortunately for the Cherries, midfielder Alex Scott recently had to undergo minor knee surgery and could be missing for at least six weeks.
Luis Sinisterra, Kepa Arrizabbalaga and Philip Billing are doubts.

Bournemouth vs Man City Expected Lineups
Justin Kluivert was given the chance to impress from the start against Aston Villa following his goal against Arsenal but failed to do so, so we could see Marcus Tavernier return after he came off the bench to set up the equaliser in the 1-1 draw with Villa.
Tavernier set up Evanilson, so expect the Brazilian to come into the starting XI at the expense of Enes Unal.
Bournemouth (4-2-3-1): Travers; Smith, Zabarnyi, Senesi, Kerkez; Cook, Christie; Ouattara, Tavernier, Semenyo; Evanilson
As for City, Haaland will obviously return to the starting XI after he wasn't even given a minute off the bench in the Spurs loss, while Bernardo Silva, Mateo Kovacic, Ederson and Gvardiol could return too.
Man City: (4-2-3-1): Ederson; Lewis, Dias, Stones, Gvardiol; Gundogan, Kovacic; B. Silva, Foden, M. Nunes; Haaland
