A preview of Manchester City against Bournemouth
The big games in Manchester City, which hosts Bournemouth, will continue tomorrow night, looking to overcome their disappointment at the end of the week.
City was beaten 1-0 by Crystal Palace in the FA Cup final in Wembley with the goal of Iberi Eas in the first half. The city took control of long spells and missed the penalty of the first half when Dean Henderson saved Omar Marmoush’s efforts.
This means that Pep Guardiola will head its second season without his cup as the city’s manager and the first since his first campaign in the Federation in 2016-17.
It may not be bad to have another very important game to focus on it immediately.

Newcastle and Chelsea and Villa all have 66 points, one more than city and forests.
Therefore, it is necessary for Guardiola’s men to win tomorrow night and give themselves a two -point pillow on the stalking package before the last Sunday, when they go to Fulham.
“It is important,” said Barcelona and Bayern Munich president. “Over the past 13, 14 or 15 years, we want to be in the Champions League, but if we are not there, we will not deserve it and we will be in the European League. This is what it is.”
Tomorrow’s night will be the final appearance of Kevin De Bruyne in the city shirt, but it may have to be satisfied with a place on the bench after playing 90 minutes, in addition to 10 minutes of additions, against Palace.
Guardiola said: “We want to win the game so that we can qualify for the Champions League next season – this is what Kevin wants, it cannot be otherwise,” Guardiola said.
“I will decide what is best for us to win the match against Bournemouth, and this is certain.
“Kevin will get what he deserves, and what he deserves is the best moment and the best courtesy of the amazing path.”
