Manchester City can at least temporarily move above leaders Liverpool with a positive result on Saturday, while AFC Bournemouth can extend their five-match unbeaten Premier League run at home.
Team news
AFC Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe will make a late call on striker Callum Wilson (knee), who has missed the last five matches.
Junior Stanislas, Dom Solanke (both thigh) and Steve Cook (groin) remain out but David Brooks could return to the starting line up. Jefferson Lerma is suspended.
Man City will be without Fernandinho (abductor) and Aymeric Laporte (hamstring) but Gabriel Jesus (hamstring) and John Stones (groin) are nearing fitness and could feature at the weekend.

Manchester City have a 100 per cent win record against the Cherries, scoring 24 goals and conceding just three.
