With Haaland and Julian, Manchester City starting lineup to face Bournemouth

Manchester City wants to continue its good level this season and to do so, they will face Bournemouth. The English team is positioned as a clear contender in this edition of the Premier League, but Tottenham and Arsenal are the owners of the top of the table at the moment, so Pep Guardiola's team and company do not want to lose important points in this match.

Although they are below Tottenham and Arsenal in the Premier League standings, Manchester City has once again shown all the power it has and seems to be once again the dominant and effective team of past seasons. They come from beating Manchester United and face Bournemouth, which is in 17th place in the competition and is one point away from the relegation places.

Manchester City coach, Pep Guardiola, spoke at a press conference about how the level of difficulty in the English league has increased. “Compared to when I arrived, there are better coaches and better teams. The important thing is that we are close. There are still 28 games to play and many things are going to happen. But our goal is to continue improving." The City manager also assured that the victory in last weekend's Manchester derby was not easy at all, as a journalist suggested at the press conference.
