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.
We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:

SAVE! When the ball trundles free into space outside the Bournemouth box, Ake is first to arrive on the scene and laces a powerful strike straight at Neto in the centre of the goal! That would have rubbed salt into the wounds of his former club.
