Manchester City’s squad for their upcoming Premier League match against Bournemouth has been revealed. Pep Guardiola’s team is aiming to close the gap on league leaders Liverpool with a win at the Vitality Stadium and extend their unbeaten run to 17 matches. Following a victory against Brentford, courtesy of Erling Haaland’s goal, City will look to continue their winning streak after a draw with Chelsea.

Haaland, who has scored three goals in his last four matches, is likely to start once again after recovering from a foot injury. Kevin De Bruyne, despite recent fitness concerns, is also in the squad and could feature in the match. Nathan Ake, who was an unused substitute in the previous game, may return to face his former club.

A 20-man squad has traveled to Bournemouth for the game, with notable absences including Jack Grealish and Josko Gvardiol who are still recovering from injuries. Grealish sustained a calf injury during a Champions League match, while Gvardiol is dealing with ankle ligament damage.

The squad includes goalkeepers Ederson, Ortega, and Carson, defenders Walker, Lewis, Dias, Akanji, Stones, Ake, and Gomez, midfielders Rodri, Nunes, Kovacic, De Bruyne, Bernardo, and Foden, as well as forwards Alvarez, Bobb, Haaland, and Doku.

Fans can follow updates on social media platforms like Twitter for the latest news on the squad and the upcoming match. Manchester City will be looking to secure a crucial victory against Bournemouth as they continue their pursuit of the Premier League title.
