Manchester City VS Bournemouth
Great games are constantly coming to Manchester City, who host Bournemouth tomorrow night and are looking for disappointment of the weekend.
City beat Crystal Palace 1-0 in the FA Cup final in Wembley, with Iberic’s 1-0 in the first half. City overcome a long time and lost a penalty in the first half when Den Henderson saved Omar Marmush’s efforts.
Pep Guardiola has only been in charge of the second season of the city and his first season since his first season in the 2016-17 season.
It may not be a bad thing that has another important game that is immediately focused on.
The weekend’s weekends did not walk through City with Aston Villa, Chelsea and Nottingham Forest, all of whom won. The only positive thing was the Newcastle’s defeat to Arsenal, a result that everyone, except the Gunners, guaranteed their goals.
Newcastle, Chelsea and Villa have all 66 points, one more than the city and the forest.
Therefore, it is very important that Guardiola’s men win tomorrow night and before the last day of Sunday, when they go to Fulham, give a two-point cushion over the hunting packet.
“It’s important,” says former Barcelona and Bayern Munich presidents. “We want to be in the Champions League for the past 13 or 14 or 15 years, but if we are not there, we will not deserve it and we will be in the Europa League,” he said. That’s what he has.”
Tomorrow night will be the last game of Kevin de Bruyne at home with a city shirt but he may have to agree to a place on the bench after playing for 90 minutes, with 10 minutes at extra time, against Palace.
“We want to win the game so that we can qualify for the Champions League next season – that’s what Kevin want, that’s not done,” Guardiola said.
“I will decide what the best thing is for us to win our game against Bournemouth. That’s sure,” he said.
“Keven is what he deserves, what he deserves is the best moment and the best praise for his unreliable path.

Palace’s victory in the final was bad news for Bournemouth, but they still have a chance to get their place in Europe next season.
A win in City can push them to eighth on the table, as it will happen between Brighton and Liverpool this evening.
“We’re playing against City in a game that needs to play for the Champions League,” he said.
“It’s not the scenario you want, but it’s the scenario that we have now and we have to try to go there and play our game.
Matthew Kovacic missed the game against Wembley but is expected to return, probably at De Bruyne’s expense.
Niko Gonzalez and Phil Foden may also be perhaps while Guardiola are trying to renew his midfield after their efforts at the weekend.
Luis Sinstara, Ens Unal, Ryan Christie and Dango Ovatara remained on the margins to Bonnmopot, while Alex Scott has also been rejected.
Dean Hues is likely to play despite the completion of a move to Real Madrid, which will have an impact at the end of the season.
