Matchday one of the 2026/27 Premier League season continues Sunday with a highly-anticipated matchup between Man City and Bournemouth.
The odds are in favor of the home side as they debut at Etihad Stadium, led by Norwegian star striker Erling Haaland. Even after another dominant campaign under Pep Guardiola last season, Man City is entering a new era with Enzo Maresca leading the charge.
Lining up on the other side is Bournemouth, who finished sixth on 57 points last year, and secured themselves in the top-half with European football. The Cherries have been able to challenge Man City in recent meetings, and right winger Rayan will likely act as the club's biggest threat come Sunday.
Who will prevail in Manchester?
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the weekly schedule.
