The likes of Arsenal and Liverpool will be chasing Pep Guardiola's side, but just as fascinating will be the race for Champions League places, with more teams than ever before having designs on top-four finishes. Chelsea remain big-spending, Manchester United's latest rebuild continues and both Tottenham and Newcastle will expect improvements this year - yet it was Aston Villa who snared fourth last term.

What a tackle from Adams! You know those videos of old buildings getting taken down by destruction teams? That's what Adams' tackle on Mateta looked like. The giant Frenchman fell so slowly!

The home side keep their pressure up, yet a cross from the left is just overcooked and Cook can't keep it on over at the right byline.

Bournemouth win a corner on the left as Lacroix ushers the ball out. Billing's corner is poor and Mateta nods it out. The hosts then work it back out with Christie before Cook pings a great ball out to Billing with a diagonal to the left. The Dane smashes low and hard and it whizzes past the base of the right post!

Semenyo powers forward for the hosts before Guehi gets his body between him and the ball to recover smartly.

Sarr drives at the Bournemouth defence, yet instead of shooting, he looks for Mateta and Huijsen gathers.

Ouattara ghosts in and connects with a superb ball from Zabarnyi. However, instead of heading back across, his nod is comfortably over Henderson's goal. In the next phase, Evanilson is played in by Cook on the right. Chalobah closes down the angle and the Brazilian fires across the face tamely.

The booked Kluivert is taken off by Iraola. The towering Philip Billing comes on to shore up the midfield.

Semenyo! After Cook plays the ball infield from the right, the Ghanaian international turns away from his marker, drives right and zips one back across the face. Ouattara wasn't far from poking that home!
