Prediction:
A difficult match to forecast. City, somewhat surprisingly, lost the FA Cup to Crystal Palace and they need to pick themselves up quickly to maintain their Champions League push.
The interesting by-product of the FA Cup Final defeat is that it has severely dented Bournemouth's chances of Europe via the league as well.
Likely a tight, low-scoring contest, which is what we'll go for, but would not be entirely surprised to see a City "reaction" and 3 or 4 goals.
Prediction: Man City 2-0 Bournemouth
