Can Bournemouth stop Manchester City? Probably not. Eight defeats from eight meetings in the Premier League speaks for itself. How Pep Guardiola’s side respond to completely dominating Tottenham but failing to win is key. If profligacy is again the order of the day then Eddie Howe could spring a surprise. A rather large if, however, considering the embarrassment of talent at Guardiola’s disposal. Graham Searles
