Jack Grealish drops to the bench for Man City, who start with Riyad Mahrez at right-wing instead, with Phil Foden operating on the left. Bernardo Silva isn't in the starting lineup again, which will fuel further speculation about his future at the club.

Haaland opened his Premier League account with a match-winning brace at West Ham on Sunday, but there were signs that City still aren't entirely comfortable playing with a No.9. Despite starting alongside Kevin de Bruyne, Phil Foden and Jack Grealish, the Norwegian goal-machine had to feed on scraps for much of the game, until İlkay Gündoğan showed his midfield colleagues how it should be done.
Moore also found the net on his EPL debut, powering home a trademark header that sealed a surprise 2-0 victory over Aston Villa. Almost everything Bournemouth did well was the result of a set-piece, and Scott Parker's men will take every opportunity to bombard the City backline with high balls.
Any points that Bournemouth can take from games like this have to be considered a bonus, but with Arsenal and Liverpool up next, Parker may already be thinking of damage limitation.

West Ham were dominated by Manchester City in their first fixture of the new campaign. They saw little of the ball as Erling Haaland scored his first two Premier League goals. After the game, boss David Moyes conceded he and his players had been “completely outdone”. They need to bounce back quickly and visiting a newly promoted team offers a good opportunity to do so.
