Raheem Sterling can set Manchester City on their way against Cherries

3pm Saturday

Lyon almost defeated Manchester City for a second time on Tuesday but no English team have been able to stretch the Citizens in the same manner and Bournemouth are unlikely to come up with the answers.

The attack-minded Cherries won't be afraid to commit men forward but their performances and results have dipped and they head to Manchester on a three-game losing sequence.
