Match Preview for Bournemouth V Manchester City
After a brief pause for March’s international break, Manchester City returns to action in the hope of revitalizing their time through a triumphant of the FA Cup.
They travel to Bournemouth on Sunday for the quarter -finals, with the aim of finishing strong in what was a disappointing campaign under Pep Guardiola.
Recent city matches have watched fifth place in the Premier League, intensifying their Champions League qualifications match for the 2025-26 season.
With their European journey already for this year, a strong performance of the FA Cup could serve as a catalyst for a little momentum for the Premier League champions.
Their opponents, Bournemouth, will try to turn their possessions around a frustrating series of form.
Since their victory over Southampton in mid -February, the cherries have passed five games without a victory, hoping that the international break gave the opportunity to restore.
With Andoni Iraola interest in the management market, she is willing to guide Bournemouth at a positive end of the season, possibly securing a trip to Wembley in May.
