Previous meetings: 22

Draws: 2
Man City wins: 19
Manchester City's record against Bournemouth is nothing short of exceptional, as they have won an impressive 19 times and have drawn two of their 22 meetings with the Cherries across all competitions.
Bournemouth failed to win any of their first 21 encounters with the Citizens, including each of their first 20 league meetings, the most one side has ever faced another without ever winning in English Football League history.
However, the Cherries celebrated their first triumph over Man City in November 2024 when Andoni Iraola's side secured an impressive 2-1 home victory in the Premier League, courtesy of goals from Antoine Semenyo and Evanilson.
Bournemouth and Man City butted heads for the very first time back in December 1987 when the Citizens won 2-0 away from home in the old Division Two, before securing maximum points in the reverse fixture by the same scoreline two months later.
Man City won each of their first 14 Premier League meetings with Bournemouth, following the Cherries' promotion to the top flight in 2015, by an aggregate score of 45-7 - the best 100% record any team has had against another in English top-flight history.
The Citizens scored four or more goals in seven Premier League games against Bournemouth during this run, including a thumping 6-1 victory at the Etihad Stadium in November 2023 - their biggest-ever win over he Cherries to date.
The only time that Man City and Bournemouth have not faced each other in the league was in September 2020 when Pep Guardiola's side secured a 2-1 home win in the third round of the EFL Cup.
Raheem Sterling is the highest-scoring player in this fixture with nine goals in as many Premier League games for Man City, while Phil Foden and Sergio Aguero are next on the list with five goals each.
