While Bournemouth's opening weekend victory against Aston Villa may have come as a surprise to some, few will surely have been shocked by Erling Haaland finishing his Premier League debut with a brace.

Indeed, the Norweigian's brilliant performance against West Ham was an ominous sign that the Dortmund goal machine is unlikely to have much trouble adapting his game to the Premier League.

Bournemouth's resolute defensive display was as impressive as their set-piece dominance at the Vitality Stadium but keeping Pep Guardiola's superstars at bay would be a more notable feat and may help to quieten those predicting that the Cherries are destined for the drop.

Scott Parker will know that their survival hopes are unlikely to hinge on games such as this against the 2021/22 champions but any sort of result would provide a massive confidence boost while a heavy defeat threatens to evaporate the momentum built up against Aston Villa.

Liverpool came undone against another of the newly-promoted sides, Fulham, last weekend to give Man City an early advantage in the race for the title and with the Reds having to wait until Monday for a chance to get their first win of the season, the visit of Bournemouth offers them an opportunity to pile a bit more early pressure on Jurgen Klopp's side.

Our prediction: Man City v Bournemouth

As good as Bournemouth were against Aston Villa, last week's opponents were lacking in creativity and invention by their own manager's admission.

It's fair to say Guardiola's side are unlikely to suffer from the same problem with Kevin De Bruyne, Joao Cancelo, Jack Grealish, and others in their ranks.

Lloyd Kelly, Mark Travers, and co may not face a tougher test all season than a trip up to the Etihad and as impressive as the Cherries keeper was last weekend, Saturday could be even busier.

Our prediction: Man City 3-0 Bournemouth (5/1 at bet365)
