Man City vs Bournemouth: prediction, kick -off time, team news and TV

Chelsea, Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa all won, because Newcastle lost again, which means that the top five race will go to the last day. City can attach anything but a top five finish by beating Bournemouth, but any slip-up can be catastrophic.

Bournemouth defeated City in the reverse match earlier this season, which was the first time they had ever left with points of a Premier League meeting with the club. Can they repeat the trick?

Man City vs Bournemouth is planned for a BST BST kick-off tonight, Tuesday 20 May 2025.

The competition takes place at the Etihad Stadium, in Manchester.

TV channel: In the UK, the game is broadcast live on Sky Sports.

Live stream: Sky Sports subscribers can also catch the competition live online via the Sky Go app and website.

Kevin De Bruyne will certainly start his last home game as a city player, but other places are less safe. The will of Jeremy Doku and Savinho did not succeed in impressing, so could make way for people like Phil Foden and Jack Grealish.

Mateo Kovacic could miss due to a knock like Rodri returns to training, although the Ballon d’Or winner is not expected to appear on Tuesday. Rico Lewis and James Mcatee were surprising absent from the team in Wembley – will they be thrown into it?

Bournemouth should bring Justin Kluivert back to support Evanilson. Center-back Dean Huijsen will become a member of Real Madrid in a few weeks, but is expected to start again for the cherries. Alex Scott is out for the season after surgery to undergo a broken jaw after a horror tail from Tyrone Mings from Aston Villa.

City will have to pick themselves up and soon after their FA Cup -left disappointment, and will know that Bournemouth will not prove to be pushovers. Everything less than an immediate return to winning ways will make the top five confrontation on Sunday even more difficult.
