What is at stake for Bournemouth vs. Man City?

Should Arsenal beat Burnley on Monday night, as expected, Tuesday’s encounter is nothing but a must-win for Man City if they wish to take the Premier League title race to the final weekend of the season.

At the time of writing, the Citizens sit two points behind leaders Arsenal but could be five points adrift when they walk out at the Vitality Stadium, knowing that a draw or defeat would hand the Gunners the title.

Man City enter this contest in high spirits after winning the FA Cup final against Chelsea on Saturday, while Bournemouth boast an impressive club-record 16-game unbeaten run in the Premier League.

The Cherries, who beat Fulham 1-0 just over a week ago, still sit sixth in the table and two points ahead of seventh-placed Brighton, who lost 1-0 to Leeds on Sunday, while Brentford in eighth are three points behind after being held to a 2-2 draw by Crystal Palace.

Andoni Iraola’s men can therefore guarantee a top-six finish and European football for next season if they beat Man City.
