Bournemouth vs Man City LIVE: Score and updates from Premier League as City run riot
Pep Guardiola’s Man City team look to respond to Arsenal’s win earlier on Saturday
Follow live coverage as Bournemouth face Manchester City in the Premier League today.
Pep Guardiola rotated his side after the 1-1 draw with RB Leipzig in the Champions League, with Rico Lewis, Phil Foden and Julian Alvarez all coming in in place of Kyle Walker, Bernardo Silva and Riyad Mahrez as City looked to cut the gap on leaders Arsenal.
Kevin De Bruyne, who missed the Leipzig game through illness, was fit enough only for the substitutes bench.
Bournemouth were without the injured Marcus Tavernier for the visit of City, so Gary O’Neil brought Chris Mepham into the team in what was the only change from the Cherries’ win against Wolves last time out.

Despite stemming the tide later in the second half and grabbing a consolation goal, Bournemouth could not resist a clinical Manchester City today, as the champions took advantage of defensive lapses by their hosts to secure maximum points. Foden scored on his 200th City appearance and Haaland surpassed club legend Aguero as their top scorer in a single Premier League campaign, taking Guardiola's men back within two points of Arsenal at the top of the table. The hosts, meanwhile, remain mired inside the bottom three.
