Buoyed by their last two results against Arsenal and Aston Villa, Bournemouth face their last unconquered Premier League opponent on Saturday – Manchester City.While most Cherries fans would have bitten your hand off if you had offered them four points from Arsenal and Villa, City – historically at least – have been an entirely different prospect.For, not only have Bournemouth failed to take a single point from 14 Premier League meetings with Pep Guardiola’s sky blue giants (the best 100% record by one team against another in top-flight history), going back even earlier to six encounters in the Football League in the 1980s and 1990s, the Cherries have a further two draws, four defeats and no victories to their name.That is comfortably an English professional football league record (20 meetings with one team not having recorded a single win), and one that will only keep stretching until Andoni Iraola’s side upset the applecart.Last season’s game at Vitality Stadium was a gritty 1-0 win for City, who were content to clear their lines and run the clock down towards the end, rather than seek a second goal.But, given Guardiola’s claims that he only has 13 fit players, and Iraola’s men having spiked the Gunners’ guns a fortnight ago, has there ever been a better chance to rid themselves of the City monkey on their back?The vagaries of broadcasters’ schedules also mean that implausibly, a game played on 2 November will be Bournemouth’s first home Saturday 15:00 kick-off this season.Sandi Toksvig is joined by Gyles Brandreth, Lulu, Emmanuel Sonubi and Alan DaviesGrab the mic for Queen, Taylor Swift, Bon Jovi, Katy Perry and more…Ben Fogle and Kate Humble are back for the festivities at Longleat Safari ParkFrom micro plastics in our air, soil, and waterways, to the extent of food waste at this time of year© 2024 BBC.
