4-3-2-1 Manchester City Predicted Lineup Vs Bournemouth
Manchester City will welcome Bournemouth at the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday night as they try to collect maximum points at home in the Premier League. The Mancunian giants suffered a narrow 1-0 loss against Crystal Palace in the FA Cup final recently, so they would be eager to put in a much-improved showing versus the Cherries this week.
Man City head coach Pep Guardiola will set his men up in a 4-2-3-1 formation and is expected to make a few tweaks to his first team for this game. Matheus Nunes, Ilkay Gundogan and Mateo Kovacic could all get an opportunity to make an impact from the start of this contest.
4-3-2-1 Manchester City Predicted Lineup To Face Bournemouth
Defence
Ederson will feature in between the sticks for Man City after he was rested last weekend. Manuel Akanji will function alongside Ruben Dias at the heart of Guardiola's backline as they look to keep things solid on the defensive third of the pitch.

Matheus Nunes will try to catch the eye as the right-back while Josko Gvardiol hopes to give a good account of himself on the other flank as the left-back.
Nico O'Reilly will offer cover for the defensive positions on the bench.

Midfield
Ilkay Gundogan, Mateo Kovacic and Bernardo Silva will make up Man City's midfield. The talented trio would try to establish their superiority over the opposition at the centre of the park.
Omar Marmoush and Kevin De Bruyne will probably get a chance to shine as the attacking midfielders.
Phil Foden, Jeremy Doku and Jack Grealish will have to be content with a place on the bench as they await their chance to make an impact in the second half if needed.
Attack
Erling Haaland will lead the charge for Man City in the final third. The Norway international failed to score against the Eagles last weekend, so this game would be a good chance for him to return to goal-scoring ways in the Premier League.
Claudio Echeverri will make up the numbers on the bench and might come on to influence the game in the final quarter of the game if Man City are in need of a goal by then.

From Man City To Barcelona – Inter Milan Road To Munich Shows They Fully Deserve To Be In Champions League Final
From Man City To Barcelona – Inter Milan Road To Munich Shows They Fully Deserve To Be In Champions League Final From Man City to Barcelona, Inter Milan have consistently shown that they belong in the Champions League final this season. This is the view in today's print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews. Advertisement This will be the second time in the space of three seasons that the Nerazzurri play in the biggest match in European club football. In 2023, there was a certain sense that Inter had been fortunate to get that far. There was little doubt that they had a path through the knockout rounds that saw them avoid the top teams in the competition. However, in the final against Manchester City, Inter proved that they weren't there by coincidence. Even though Inter lost narrowly, they went toe-to-toe with the Premier League giants. From Man City To Barcelona – Inter Milan Show They Belong In Champions League Final MILAN, ITALY – APRIL 27: Denzel Dumfries of FC Internazionale applauds the fans after 1-0 defeat following the Serie A match between FC Internazionale and AS Roma at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on April 27, 2025 in Milan, Italy. (Photo by) After a mixed Champions League campaign last season that saw Inter go out to Atletico Madrid in the round of sixteen, this time around they have once again reached the final. Advertisement The Nerazzurri started their journey by playing away to 2023 final opponents Manchester City. That match ended in a 0-0 draw. And it was an early sign that Inter would not let any team intimidate them. Wins against the likes of Arsenal, RB Leipzig, and Monaco followed in what was a nearly flawless league phase but for a flat 0-1 loss away to Bayer Leverkusen. And in the knockout rounds Inter have prevailed against the likes of Bayern Munich and Barcelona. Paris Saint-Germain may have made themselves the favourites in the eyes of many fans and pundits. But Inter have certainly shown that they are here for a reason. There is no way that the Parisians will be underestimating them.

Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal target Liverpool duo Luis Díaz and Darwin Núñez

Photograph: Allstar Picture Library Ltd/Richard Sellers/Apl/Sportsphoto The Liverpool forward Luis Díaz is attracting interest from Saudi Arabia, with Al-Nassr considering a move for the Colombia international. Díaz has two years remaining on his contract and is yet to enter talks on an extension. There has been no approach to Liverpool by Al-Nassr so far but Saudi interest in the 28-year-old is longstanding and, with Cristiano Ronaldo a possible departure before the Club World Cup, the club are likely to be in the market for another big name. Advertisement The winger, who was also used effectively in a central role by Arne Slot this past season, is coming off a productive campaign for the Premier League champions of 13 goals and five assists. Darwin Núñez is another potential target for the Saudi Pro League, with Al-Hilal linked, and Liverpool would be more open to selling the Uruguay striker than Díaz in what is likely to be a big spending summer. Liverpool remain in talks with Bayer Leverkusen over a club record deal for Florian Wirtz, are close to confirming the £30m transfer of Wirtz's teammate Jeremie Frimpong, and are interested in the Bournemouth left-back Milos Kerkez, who is valued at £45m. The champions are also expected to move for another striker. Real Madrid have reopened talks with Liverpool over signing Trent Alexander-Arnold before his Anfield contract expires in order to have the defender for the Club World Cup. Advertisement Alexander-Arnold can join Real on a free when his contract ends at the end of next month but the Spanish giants, under new head coach Xabi Alonso, want to include him in their plans for the expanded Fifa tournament that starts in the United States on 14 June. Real's determination to sign the full-back early could see Liverpool pocket around £10m should a deal be agreed.
