Bournemouth host Manchester City at the Vitality Stadium on Tuesday, May 19, 2026 (kick-off 12:00 AM IST / 7:30 PM local UK time) in a Premier League Matchweek 37 clash. The Cherries, chasing a historic first-ever European qualification, face a City side still fighting in the title race.
Andoni Iraola’s Bournemouth have been one of the stories of the season, boasting a long unbeaten run and sitting comfortably in the top half. They will look to exploit any City fatigue from a demanding schedule.
Head to head
Manchester City dominate this fixture historically, winning 18 of the last 19 meetings with just one Bournemouth victory. City have an exceptional record at the Vitality Stadium, though Bournemouth did manage a shock win in a previous campaign. The reverse fixture this season ended 3-1 to City.
Predicted Lineups:
• Bournemouth (4-2-3-1): Petrovic; Smith, Hill, Senesi, Truffert; Adams, Scott; Rayan, Kroupi, Tavernier; Evanilson.
• Manchester City (4-2-3-1): Donnarumma; Nunes, Khusanov, Guéhi, O’Reilly; Bernardo Silva, Rodri/Gonzalez; Semenyo, Cherki, Doku; Haaland.
Score Prediction: Bournemouth 1-3 Manchester City.
While the Cherries are in fine form, Erling Haaland and City’s attacking talent should prove too strong on the road. Expect goals, but City to prevail.
