AFC Bournemouth (H) | Sat 13th Aug, 15:00 | Pre-Match Thread

Should be a massacre, but, don’t want to jinx it.
The temperature will almost certainly slow it down, will this be a record temperature at a City home match?

When we first moved to the Etihad in 2003 it was at the end of scorching summer. The first few home games were super hot. but tomorrow won’t be far off.

Bournemouth have two options - press high up the pitch or the low block. With the expected heat tomorrow they are unlikely to do the former as they'll be knackered before half time so I expect a slow, cagey game with lots of probing movement but little action.

Just watched Peps press conference. We have got a great manager. So interesting, listening to him.
