Match Details
This Premier League fixture takes place at the Vitality Stadium. The exact date and kick-off time are confirmed closer to the match and may be subject to change for television coverage, so please check our fixture listings for the latest details.
Vitality Stadium
The Vitality Stadium is one of the Premier League's most intimate venues with a capacity of approximately 11,307 — the smallest in the top flight. Despite its modest size, the atmosphere generated by the Cherries faithful creates a challenging environment for visiting sides. Manchester City have historically enjoyed an excellent record in this fixture, though Bournemouth memorably beat them at the Vitality Stadium in 2024 and held them to a draw there more recently, proving the Cherries can cause problems for even the strongest opponents on home soil.
Head-to-Head Record
Manchester City's overall record against Bournemouth is exceptional. The Citizens have won the large majority of meetings between the clubs across all competitions, including a run in which Bournemouth failed to win any of their first 21 encounters with City — among the longest winless runs one side has had against another in English league history. City won their first 14 Premier League meetings comfortably, including a 6-1 win at the Etihad in November 2023. In recent seasons, however, Bournemouth have started to turn the tide, recording their first-ever win over City and taking points off them again since.
Recent meetings
The most recent meeting, at the Vitality Stadium in May 2026, ended in a 1-1 draw — a result that famously confirmed Arsenal as Premier League champions. Earlier that season, in November 2025, Manchester City won 3-1 at the Etihad Stadium. Erling Haaland struck a first-half brace, both assisted by Rayan Cherki, before Tyler Adams briefly equalised for the Cherries, and Nico O'Reilly sealed the win after the break.
Bournemouth
Bournemouth have established themselves as one of the Premier League's most exciting teams. Andoni Iraola guided the Cherries to the highest league finish in their history in 2025-26 — a sixth-place finish that secured their first-ever qualification for European football in the Europa League — before leaving for Liverpool, with Marco Rose taking charge for a new era. Their historic 2-1 victory over Manchester City in November 2024, their first ever win against the Citizens, showed they can compete with the very best. The high-energy pressing style that has become their hallmark makes them dangerous opponents for anyone, even after key man Antoine Semenyo's January 2026 move to Manchester City.
Manchester City
Manchester City remain one of the most formidable sides in English football. Pep Guardiola's trophy-laden decade came to an end after the 2025-26 season — in which City finished runners-up to Arsenal but lifted an EFL Cup and FA Cup double — and Enzo Maresca, a former Guardiola assistant, has taken charge for a new era. Erling Haaland continues to terrorise defences and rewrite the record books, with Rayan Cherki adding creativity following his move from Lyon, as City look to challenge for major honours once again.
Tickets
Tickets for Bournemouth vs Manchester City at the Vitality Stadium are among the most sought-after of the season given the ground's limited capacity and the calibre of the opposition. This is a must-attend occasion for any football fan fortunate enough to secure a seat.
