Manchester City host Bournemouth at the Etihad Stadium in a fixture that has quietly become one of the more entertaining regular meetings in the Premier League. Both clubs arrive with new managers settling into the job, and both have shown recently that games between them rarely stay goalless at either end.Verdict: Both teams to score Best Odds: 1.70Bookmaker: 1xBetManchester CityCity go into this one under Enzo Maresca, who takes his first Premier League game in charge after succeeding Pep Guardiola and suffering a Community Shield defeat to Arsenal. The bigger story of the summer is the departure of Rodri, with Elliot Anderson brought in to fill that midfield role, though his first involvement in a City shirt was a difficult one.
