Bournemouth host Manchester City on Sunday in a mouthwatering FA Cup quarter-final clash at the Vitality Stadium.
The Cherries beat City 2-1 in the Premier League back in November with Antoine Semenyo and Evanilson finding the net for Andoni Iraola’s side on home soil – so could lighting perhaps strike twice?
Pep Guardiola’s men are now the favourites to win this competition and could somewhat rescue their season by winning the FA Cup for the third time in seven years. Kyle Walker is out the door and a new-look defence could cause a problem for Bournemouth’s backline this weekend.
Erling Haaland also seems to have returned to form having netted two goals in his last four games. The talented Norweigan has a whopping 29 goals in 39 games for the Cityzens this term.
