This man to cause damage?

Andoni Iraola speaks to Sky Sports
'We know where we are coming. We never get a point here so it will be tough. But we have all the players available so it's a good chance.
'I hope we have a chance! Definitely we need one of our best performances. I expect a demanding game for us. Let's be efficient.'

By Michael Pavitt
Man City fans should feel confident heading into this afternoon's match given their history against Bournemouth.

Nine of those matches have been in the Premier League, with Man City having won all of them.
There had been some hammerings in there too, including a 6-1, 5-1 and three 4-0 defeats.

By Michael Pavitt
Good afternoon and welcome to Daily Mail Sport's coverage as Manchester City welcome high-flying Bournemouth to the Etihad.
The Cherries arrived in Manchester lying second in the Premier League table, seven points behind leaders Arsenal.
Andoni Iraola's side have lit up the Premier League so far this season and would garner even more plaudits if they were to stun Man City this afternoon.
