We can expect a mouthwatering clash when in-form Bournemouth host English Premier League title hopefuls Manchester City on Tuesday night.
The Cherries are unbeaten in their last 15 games, the best run of form in the English Premier League – leaving them in sixth place with 55 points and bright hopes of a first ever Champions League appearance next season.
They take on second place Manchester City who are on 77 points, two behind league leaders Arsenal who host Burnley on Monday night. City must win to keep their title hopes alive.
Pep Guardiola’s charges are seeking a seventh Premier League title in the last 10 years, while Arsenal have not lifted the trophy since the 2003/04 season.
City are coming off a slim 1-0 victory against Chelsea at the weekend to be crowned FA Cup champions, while Bournemouth were 1-0 winners away at Fulham in their last outing.

Ryan Christie was sent off in the 1-0 win against Fulham and will sit this one out, giving David Brooks a chance to start, alongside Alex Scott in midfield.
Both Evanilson and Eli Kroupi Junior started last time out and the attacking pair will maintain their starting roles here. Marcus Tavernier and Rayan, who scored the winner against Fulham, will also start.
For the visitors, Rayan Cherki came off the bench in the FA Cup final but is set to return to the starting XI here. Antoine Semenyo the hero at Wembley, will also retain his place in the starting XI.
League top scorer Erling Haaland will lead the attacking line, with Omar Marmoush being relegated to the bench following a disappointing performance over the weekend.
