Manchester City took advantage last weekend as Liverpool and Arsenal both dropped points as they drew 2-2 at the Emirates Stadium. This puts City one point above the second-placed Reds now and five ahead of Arsenal. This weekend, Pep Guardiola’s side travel to Bournemouth to face the Cherries.
I’m backing Over 11.5 Match Corners at 2.00.
Bournemouth’s home ground, the Vitality Stadium is never an easy place to go as Arsenal found out two weekends ago when they lost 2-0. This should end up being an end-to-end game as Bournemouth’s home support will look to make it an uncomfortable atmosphere for the Champions.
City boss Guardiola has stated the club has the highest number of injuries since his arrival which will boost the Cherries’ chances of a result. However, the league leaders will still have Erling Haaland and Phil Foden starting which will mean dangerous attacks.
Bournemouth’s average total match corners are 11.56 per league game this season, with City averaging 12.33. Man City lead the league in corners for with 88 to Bournemouth’s 62 corners. Respectively, these average to 9.78 and 6.89 per team.
