It is difficult to pick a winner here between two sides that both have plenty riding on this result.

Man City are still desperately trying to keep the pressure on Arsenal, and they need three points to take the title race to the final day - anything less would hand the Gunners the trophy. Their recent form has been excellent, and Pep Guardiola’s men come into this clash following back-to-back 3-0 wins over Brentford and Crystal Palace, respectively. 

However, Bournemouth are not a side to underestimate, and they will fancy their chances of at least getting on the scoresheet. The Cherries are averaging 3.0 goals per game in the Premier League this season, which is the fourth-highest in the division, and they were beaten 3-1 in the reverse fixture at the Etihad.

Over 2.5 goals has landed in five of their last six matches. 

Man City are averaging 6.36 corners per game in the Premier League this season, and they have seen a notable uptick in corner counts in recent weeks.

Guardiola's men have taken things up a gear in their pursuit of the Gunners and have recorded at least eight corners in each of their last seven successive league matches. That even includes hitting double figures against Brentford, Burnley, Chelsea, and West Ham in that stretch. Nothing has changed in terms of the context of this game - they need three points, so they will have to maintain that level of attacking intent. 

Bournemouth have also been one of the better sides in the division to target for corners this season, particularly at the Vitality Stadium. They are averaging 5.61 corners per game in the league this season, rising to 5.94 when playing at home

On the opposite side, Jeremy Doku has been the one to target when it comes to drawing free-kicks, and he comes into this clash in a rich vein of form, so he should be full of confidence.

The Belgian international scored a brace against Everton, helping his side snatch a vital point,  before again getting on the scoresheet against Brentford in the next match. He has been causing nightmares for opposing defenders in recent weeks and was fouled ten times across those two league outings. 

Doku is averaging 3.13 fouls drawn per 90 in the league this season, which is one of the highest figures of any player in the division, and he has been fouled 18 times in his last four league starts alone.

Bournemouth are a side that like to be aggressive in their press, and they rank second in the Premier League for total fouls committed, making this an excellent matchup for Doku. 

Alex Scott racked up eight foul involvements against Fulham last time out, with five committed and three drawn, underlining what was a combative afternoon for the Bournemouth midfielder.

Scott has been a key figure in Iraola's squad this season, and he excels with the ball at his feet, regularly looking to drive past his man and invite contact in midfield. Scott has drawn more fouls than any other Bournemouth player in the Premier League this season, and his average of 1.95 fouls drawn per 90 is impressively high.

Scott was fouled twice in the reverse fixture against Man City earlier in the season, which shows how this matchup has already been a productive one for him, and City will have to be aggressive in their press again here as they look to dominate at the Vitality Stadium.

Bournemouth should also see more of the ball than they did in that match, and Scott is one to keep an eye on.
