The Cherries beat Man City for the first time ever when they met in the Premier League earlier this season

Manchester City continue their bid to salvage something from a frustrating season as they travel to face Bournemouth in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.

With City knocked out of the Champions League in the knockout play-off round and sitting 22 points off the pace set by Liverpool in the Premier League, it has taken on increased significance this year.

City are the favourites to win the FA Cup, with the likes of Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea falling to early exits, but they will be fully aware of the threat Bournemouth pose.

The Cherries came out on top when these sides met earlier this season for what was their first ever win over City, and they are firmly on track for their best ever Premier League season.

They beat Wolves on penalties to book their place in the quarter-finals, while City survived a scare as they came from behind to eventually see off Plymouth.

Bournemouth vs Man City team news

Andoni Iraola will be forced into a reshuffle in defence, with key duo Dean Huijsen and Milos Kerkez both suspended for the quarter-final clash.

Marcos Senesi will return to the squad, though is not yet ready to play a full 90 minutes, while Julian Araujo is nearing a return from a hamstring injury.

Guardiola has confirmed that Ederson is available again after an abdominal injury but he could have to settle for a place on the bench anyway, with Stefan Ortega often getting the nod in the domestic cups.

John Stones, Nathan Ake and Manuel Akanji are all still injured and Bernardo Silva is a doubt, but Josko Gvardiol is expected to be fit. Phil Foden and Jack Grealish will hope to get chances to impress in attack.

Bournemouth vs Man City prediction

There will be no fear in the Bournemouth camp heading into his match. They have the chance to make history in the final weeks of the season and they are within touching distance of a trip to Wembley.

Iraola’s side will be full of energy and intensity, and City continue to look alarmingly vulnerable when teams take the match to them.

We’re going for Bournemouth to make it back-to-back wins over Guardiola and his players.

Bournemouth to win, 2-1.
