Same team please! Gotta keep our foot on the gas now

I think Ake should get minutes. He's really done little to be dropped and Gvad the Impaler didn't have a great one vs. ManUre

I heard Ake was injured.

Same shape and system as yesterday. Maybe one or two tweaks in selection - e.g. Doku and Ake.
Important moving forward to keep that axis of Stones, Rodri and Bernardo in the middle.

It will be a tougher game than the derby

Was just about to say the same. At least Bournemouth will be well organised and have a plan.

Looked ok when warming up

Win, but I expect it to be a scrapy affair.
A typical City "After the Lord Mayor's show" type of thing.

Absolutely no excuse whatsoever for anything but a big home win. Respect them the way we’d prepare for playing the likes of Arsenal or Liverpool, no weakened sides or complacency. Let’s get that goal difference up!
