Manchester City have won all nine of their Premier League home games against Bournemouth by an aggregate score of 34-6. They’ve netted 3.8 goals per game when hosting the Cherries in the competition; their highest average against any opponent on home soil. Bournemouth boss Marco Rose will be just the fifth manager to see his first Premier League game come away to Manchester City at the Etihad, with none of the previous making a winning start (D1 L3). Man City have won their opening game in 14 of the last 15 Premier League seasons, the exception a 1-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur in 2021-22. It’s four more wins on MD1 than any other side has had since 2011-12 (Liverpool and Man Utd, 10). This is Enzo Maresca’s first Premier League game in charge of Manchester City. Including caretakers, each of the Citizens’ last four managers has won their first league game, with Mark Hughes in August 2008 the last to lose (2-4 vs Aston Villa). Bournemouth lost none of their final 18 Premier League games of 2025-26 under Andoni Iraola (W8 D10), the longest current unbeaten run in the division. Erling Haaland has scored 22 goals in 14 Premier League appearances in the month of August. Indeed, of all players to score 10+ goals in a particular month in the competition, Haaland’s average of 54 minutes-per-goal in August is the best.Enjoy this?
