Man City vs Bournemouth: Prediction, kick-off time, TV, live stream, team news, h2h results, odds

Chelsea, Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa all won, as Newcastle lost again, which means the top-five race will go down to the final day. City can all but confirm a top-five finish by beating Bournemouth, but any slip-up could prove catastrophic.

Bournemouth beat City in the reverse fixture earlier this season, which was the first time they had ever come away with points from a Premier League meeting with the club. Could they repeat the trick?

Man City vs Bournemouth is scheduled for an 8pm BST kick-off on Tuesday, May 20, 2025.

The match will take place at the Etihad Stadium, in Manchester.

TV channel: In the UK, the game will be televised live on Sky Sports.

Live stream: Sky Sports subscribers can also catch the contest live online via the Sky Go app and website.

Live blog: You can follow all the action on matchday via Standard Sport’s live blog.

Kevin De Bruyne will surely start his final home game as a City player, but other spots are less secure. The likes of Jeremy Doku and Savinho failed to impress so could make way for the likes of Phil Foden and Jack Grealish.

Mateo Kovacic could miss out due to a knock as Rodri returns to training, though the Ballon d’Or winner is not expected to feature on Tuesday. Rico Lewis and James McAtee were surprise absentees from the squad at Wembley – will they be thrown in?

Bournemouth should bring Justin Kluivert back in to support Evanilson. Centre-back Dean Huijsen is set to join Real Madrid in a few weeks, but is expected to again start for the Cherries. Alex Scott is out for the season after undergoing surgery on a broken jaw following a horror tackle from Aston Villa’s Tyrone Mings.

City will need to pick themselves up and quickly after their FA Cup final disappointment, and will know Bournemouth will prove no pushovers. Anything less than an immediate return to winning ways will make Sunday’s top-five showdown even tougher.
