Ah About time JC i was about to come on and start one wondering why you hadn't, still here we are.

A few stats from the Beeb which make interesting reading. My favourite is that if Razzer scores, he will be the first player in the premiership to scored in 6 consecutive games against one team...........

MATCH FACTS
Head-to-head

Manchester City have won the six previous Premier League encounters, scoring 21 times and conceding just twice.

Bournemouth have never beaten City in a competitive game (D2, L10).

The Cherries have conceded 13 times in their three previous trips to the Etihad Stadium, losing 5-1 on their first visit in 2015 and 4-0 in subsequent matches there in 2016 and 2017.


Manchester City

Manchester City have conceded just one Premier League goal from open play this season, scored by Newcastle's DeAndre Yedlin on 1 September.

City are unbeaten in their last 19 league games (W16, D3), conceding just eight goals during this run.

They are also undefeated in their last 35 league matches which have kicked off at 3pm on a Saturday, winning 31 of those games.

City have yet to concede in the final half hour of a Premier League match this season, and are the only club who have not lost any points from winning positions.

Raheem Sterling has scored in all five of his Premier League games against Bournemouth, netting seven goals in total.

Sterling can become the first player in Premier League history to score in his first six appearances against a particular club.

All but one of Sergio Aguero's last 19 Premier League goals have been scored at home.


Bournemouth

Bournemouth have beaten the reigning champions three times in six Premier League games since promotion to the top flight in 2015. Only Manchester City, with five wins, have a better record in this period.

They have suffered three successive league defeats, all by a 2-1 scoreline.

The Cherries have lost four consecutive Premier League games on three occasions, most recently at the start of the 2017-18 season. All of those losing sequences included a defeat against Manchester City.

They have lost their last six games against established top-six opposition. Their last win in such a fixture was the 3-0 victory away to Chelsea in January.
