Bournemouth have never beaten Manchester City. In the days before the Cherries hit the big time, the record was bad enough: six games in the old Division Two, City winning four, the other two matches drawn. However since Bournemouth first made it to the Premier League in 2015, the clubs have met 11 times, City coming out on top every single time, to the cumulative score of 34-6. If history has ever teed up a conclusion more foregone, we’re not aware of it.

A win for the reigning champions and title contenders is very much odds on, then … but does history, recent or otherwise, hold out any hope for the Cherries? Well, there was a 3-3 draw at Maine Road in 1989, when Brian Horton’s promotion-bound side shipped a 3-0 half-time lead, Bournemouth’s Luther Blissett completing the comeback with a penalty in the sixth minute of injury time. The Cherries also gave it a good go in 2017, succumbing only to a late, late, late Raheem Sterling winner at Dean Court (for which the City man was then sent off for celebrating). And earlier this month, they held Newcastle at home, and probably should have won, part of a recent relegation-battling, gamefaces-on mini-revival. It’s not much, but when you’re zero for 17, it’s better than nothing.

Pep and his majestic men meanwhile zone in on their third title in a row. A big task for Bournemouth, then. Can they shock the world of football? Kick off is at 5.30pm GMT. It’s on!
