The games are coming quick and fast for Manchester City, with the second home fixture in a week coming in the Premier League against Eddie Howe’s Bournemouth.
The Blues have been rampant so far this season, winning all seven games in all competitions – they completely outplayed Borussia Monchengladbach in Wednesday’s rearranged game and will look to reach the same level on Saturday at 3pm.
There are a couple of selection issues for Guardiola and City though. Sergio Aguero hit a stunning hat-trick at the Etihad on Wednesday but still has a further two games to serve on his domestic ban, while David Silva is unlikely to play tomorrow though the injury is not severe according to Guardiola.

City are still taking their time with captain Vincent Kompany, who is nearing a return but won’t be involved tomorrow.
There was no mention about Fernando and Fabian Delph, who have both been out with injury.
Ilkay Gundogan impressed in his first City start – the German playing 80 minutes against Monchengladbach. Will he be able to start against Bournemouth?
Here is our Predicted XI, in the usual 4-1-4-1 formation.
