Manchester City team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Bournemouth

Manchester City will be looking to boost their Premier League title hopes and claim back-to-back victories when they travel to the Vitality Stadium to face Bournemouth on Saturday evening.

The Citizens bounced back from their 1-1 draw with Chelsea last weekend by securing a slender 1-0 home win over Brentford on Tuesday night, courtesy of a second-half strike from Erling Haaland.

Pep Guardiola's side, who are still dealing with a few fitness issues, currently sit second in the top-flight table, just one point behind leaders Liverpool who play host to Luton Town on Wednesday.
