If Manchester City defeats Bournemouth at the Etihad Stadium this afternoon, they will take back the top spot in the Premier League. With a victory today, the third-place Blues might overtake both Arsenal and leaders Tottenham, who are now separated by only two points.

It would put pressure on the rivals from North London to make up ground later this weekend: Spurs host Chelsea on Monday night, while Arsenal go to Newcastle today evening.

Apart from Kevin de Bruyne, who has been out for a while, City has had a week free following their impressive 3-0 derby victory over United last Sunday. Pep Guardiola can select from a fully-fit squad.

The Cherries have struggled so far this season, but they are heading north after defeating fellow struggling team Burnley last weekend, which was crucial in getting them out of the relegation zone.

Doku scores!

The breakthrough is there!

Playing the ball into Rodri after Jeremy Doku retrieves it from deep, the lay-off is ideal for the winger to sprint into.

Perhaps with the assistance of a touch halfway through, the rookie finisher hits the bottom corner, and City lead!

Bernardo doubles it!

In a heartbeat, it’s two.

Doku switches to his right wing, contorts in the box, and executes a wonderful cutback to locate Bernardo, who glides serenely into the lower corner.

With City in complete control, the score could potentially be any number.

Doku scores once more!

Returning to the left, Jeremy Doku is unmarked after another deep corner.

He aims for the bottom corner, but Manuel Akanji deflected it into the side opposite Doku’s intended target.

It might be considered the defender’s goal.
