Manchester City team news
Aymeric Laporte is the only significant absentee impinging upon Pep Guardiola's selection process at this early stage of the season as the centre-back recovers from knee surgery.
Bernardo Silva came off the bench against West Ham and the club has underlined its desire to keep the fleet-footed midfielder despite Barcelona's interest.

Bournemouth team news
One of the few summer arrivals Bournemouth have made thus far could be available for selection this weekend as Ryan Fredericks threatens to shake off a calf injury he sustained during preseason.
Fellow new recruit Joe Rothwell is slightly behind Fredericks in his recovery from a thigh problem which has hampered his integration into the squad.
David Brooks isn't expected to be called upon until October at the earliest as Scott Parker tip-toes around his return from a Hodgkin Lymphoma diagnosis in 2021.

Manchester City vs Bournemouth score prediction
While the rest of the division gawked at an ominous debut from City's summer arrival Erling Haaland, Cherries boss Parker is still banging the drum for more transfers on the south coast, stressing: “We definitely need more players.”
Despite their positive start, it would take an almighty recruitment drive for Bournemouth to assume the status of favourites at the home of the reigning champions. FiveThirtyEight's predictive model gives the visitors just a 3% chance of collecting three points.
Prediction: Manchester City 3-0 Bournemouth
