Fixture: Manchester City vs Bournemouth
Competition: Premier League
Kick-off: 15:00 (UK time)
Manchester City have confirmed their starting line-up and substitutes to play host to Eddie Howe's Bournemouth outfit in a Premier League game at the Etihad Stadium this afternoon.
Pep Guardiola's men sit top of the league table but, with Liverpool not in action until Sunday against Everton, can move five points clear of the Reds with a win today.
Manchester City continue to be without Claudio Bravo, Benjamin Mendy and Kevin De Bruyne.
In goal, Guardiola selects Ederson, while in defence he plumps for Aymeric Laporte and Nicolas Otamendi as the centre-back pairing. Ilkay Gundogan is handed a start, as are Bernardo Silva, Leroy Sane and Raheem Sterling. Gabriel Jesus is up top.
The former Barcelona boss has a strong bench at his disposal if he wants to make changes, with options available to him including Riyad Mahrez and Vincent Kompany.
Manchester City Team vs Bournemouth
Ederson, Danilo, Laporte, Otamendi, Zinchenko, Fernandinho (c), Gundogan, Bernardo, Sane, Sterling, Jesus
Substitutes: Muric, Walker, Kompany, Delph, Silva, Mahrez, Foden
