Team news is in! Two changes from the Villa defeat as Julian Araujo and Justin Kluivert come in for Adam Smith and the injured Alex Scott.

Smith drops to the bench - where he is joined by a trio of development squad players.

What do you make of that?

Good evening from the Etihad!

The Cherries arrive aiming at the league double over their hosts - and will hope to compound their misery after their FA Cup final defeat. A result would also spoil Kevin de Bruyne's final home game for City...

How are you feeling for this one?

Team news is in! The Cherries are unchanged from the draw at Palace - Lewis Cook, who Andoni Iraola said was a doubt on Friday, makes the bench.

Happy with that?

Lots of reaction from CBS, had a good chat with the Gentleman after his win.

First, he told me he felt comfortable throughout the bout - but he admitted it was a bit of a ‘weird’ fight.
