Manchester City vs AFC Bournemouth Preview<\/h2>

Manchester City begin the Enzo Maresca era at the Etihad with pressure already mounting after a 3-0 Community Shield loss to Arsenal. Sitting fourth after a shaky end to last season, with two defeats in their final five matches, City need a strong opening statement. Omar Marmoush's fitness remains uncertain following a knock in that Shield defeat, while Matheus Nunes withdrew from the squad entirely. Erling Haaland is expected to start after a managed return from his World Cup break.<\/p>

AFC Bournemouth travel north under new boss Marco Rose, who replaces the departed Andoni Iraola. The Cherries sit fourteenth and arrive in decent form, unbeaten in four of their last five league outings, though a 2-1 pre-season loss to Mainz exposed defensive frailties. Rose faces selection headaches with five first-team players unavailable, although Tyler Adams and Alex Scott are among those edging closer to returns. Bournemouth have never won a Premier League match at the Etihad.<\/p>
