The match has high stakes in the Premier League title race; a loss or draw for Man City will confirm Arsenal as champions, while a win will set up a dramatic final day.
Andoni Iraola’s side, which are chasing a historic UEFA Champions League qualification next season, also need the win to boost their chances.
Antoine Semenyo, who scored for City in their 1-0 win over Chelsea in the FA Cup final on Saturday, will return to his former club, which he left in January.
Supercomputer predicts Bournemouth vs Man City
According to The Analyst, Opta’s supercomputer has rated the chances of all possible outcomes for the match between Bournemouth and Manchester City.
The supercomputer gives Manchester City a 56% chance of winning, Bournemouth 22.1% and the chances of the match ending in a draw at 21.9%.
The Cherries and the Citizens have the longest active unbeaten runs in the Premier with 16 and 14 respectively, meaning one has to give way for the other to achieve their objectives.
However, Bournemouth is City’s favourite opponent, having won 16 of their 17 games so far, a 94% win rate, the most against any PL side with more than 10 games.
Guardiola knows what to expect
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola, who is confirmed to be leaving the club at the end of this season, admits that his players are fatigued due to the schedule.
However, he warned that they must fight through it in the final weeks of the season when they face the intense Bournemouth on Wednesday.
“When you arrive at this stage, and you play the 90, 95 minutes to extend the title race or win it, you are tired, yes,” he said, as quoted by mancity.com.

“I am pretty sure the players will give everything, whether they are tired or going to the World Cup or holidays, they will do it. Six days to the end of the season, so they will do it even though the fatigue is there, and we cannot deny it.”
“They attack quickly and don’t let you breathe. I can expect an intense, aggressive and demanding team. We have to be smart to read what we have to do,” he said about what to expect from Bournemouth.
