Manchester City will look to put its recent Community Shield annihilation against Arsenal firmly behind as it hosts Bournemouth in a Premier League curtain-raiser on Sunday. Enzo Maresca’s first competitive fixture as Pep Guardiola’s heir will also host two managerial debuts as Marco Rose makes his bow in the Bournemouth dugout.
Both coaches have huge shoes to fill after Guardiola oversaw one of the most dominant eras in English soccer over the course of his 10 years at the Etihad Stadium. Rose, meanwhile, has replaced Andoni Iraola on the south coast after the latter led the Cherries to Europa League qualification before joining Liverpool.
The last meeting between these teams ended in a draw at the Vitality Stadium in May, which just so happened to end City’s hopes of competing for last term’s league title. Record City signing Elliot Anderson will hope to play a role in turning the tide back in his club’s favor after joining for close to $160 million this summer.
Bournemouth has been active in repairing some very specific holes this summer, with Benfica defender Antonio Silva arriving to replace Marcos Senesi, not at Tottenham. Meanwhile, Juanlu Sanchez has taken Alex Jimenez’s place at right-back after he joined Fiorentina on loan, while Uruguay striker Alvaro Rodriguez has joined in a $35m move from Elche following Enes Unal’s exit on a free.
