Can Manchester City claim yet another win when they take on Bournemouth? Opta delivers their statistical verdict.

"If Manchester City win this, it will be the joint-second longest ever winning run in one of Europe’s big five leagues (17 games). The current record is 19, achieved by Pep Guardiola’s Bayern Munich in 2013-14."

Manchester City are 1.9420/21 to win to nil.

Manchester City have won nine and lost none of their 11 previous league matches against Bournemouth (D2), winning all five in the Premier League. City are 1.132/15 to win.

The Cherries have conceded nine goals in two previous Premier League visits to the Etihad, losing 5-1 in October 2015 and 4-0 in September 2016. Over 3.5 goals is 1.635/8.

Bournemouth have never won a match in Manchester against either City or United in 11 previous attempts in all competitions (W0 D2 L9), conceding 32 goals in those 11 games. Manchester City are 1.392/5 to win half-time/full-time.

Raheem Sterling has scored in all four of his Premier League appearances against Bournemouth, scoring six goals including a hat-trick in October 2015 and last-minute winner in this season's reverse fixture. Sterling is 2.01/1 to score.

If Manchester City win this, it will be the joint-second longest ever winning run in one of Europe's big five leagues (17 games). The current record is 19, achieved by Pep Guardiola's Bayern Munich in 2013-14. Manchester City are 1.9420/21 to win to nil.

An English manager hasn't won a Premier League match at the Etihad since May 2010, when Harry Redknapp won 1-0 with Spurs. Eddie Howe and his Bournemouth side are 30.029/1 to end that run.

Manchester City have scored at least twice in each of their last 11 Premier League games - only the Citizens themselves have ever had a longer such run in the competition (14 games ending in November 2011). Over 2.5 goals is 1.261/4.

Manchester City have scored 97 Premier League goals in 2017 so far - the last team to score 100+ goals in a single year within the English top-flight were Liverpool (106 goals) in 1982. Over 4.5 goals is 2.3811/8.

Gabriel Jesus hasn't lost any of the 26 Premier League games that he's played in since joining Manchester City - only four players have ever had a longer unbeaten start to a Premier League career (Jens Lehmann 47, Arjen Robben 37, Didier Drogba 37 and Gael Clichy 29). Jesus is 1.538/15 to find the net.

Since the start of last season, Bernardo Silva has been on the winning side in 44 league matches - this is more than any other player across the top five European Leagues. Silva is 2.3811/8 to score.
