Manchester City v Bournemouth: Premier League - live
Marco Rose spoke positively before his first competitive match in charge of Bournemouth, at Manchester City on Sunday. The German head coach was unveiled in May after Andoni Iraola made the decision to leave the south coast club.The Cherries are one of nine Premier League teams to have made a managerial change this summer and Rose knows what to expect up against Enzo Maresca, another of the coaching newbies this season.“The things I saw so far with Chelsea and now Manchester City, it’s a clear idea, a clear philosophy,” Rose said. “You know what you get, you know what they want to play, you see the processes and the approach they have.“It’s quite intense against the ball, high pressing and, with the ball, you know what quality you face and you see a clear idea in established play. It’s a tough challenge but we are quite positive. We had a really good pre-season. I settled in very well and everyone supported me and the new coaching staff.”SharePreambleHello and welcome to coverage of the Premier League clash between Manchester City and Bournemouth. Prem football returned on Friday and what a weekend it has been so far. Arsenal began their title defence with a 3-0 win over newly-promoted Coventry City, but the first Saturday of the campaign produced a few shocks…Manchester United fell to a shock 2-0 loss to Hull City at the MKM Stadium following goals from Semi Ajayi and Nobel Mendy. Sunderland suffered a 2-1 defeat to Ipswich Town, while Brentford cruised to a 3-0 win against Tottenham. Elsewhere, Leeds United beat Nottingham Forest 1-0 and Everton clinched a 2-0 win over Crystal Palace.Given those results, it is pretty impossible to predict which way this game will go. The last time these two sides met the points were shared in a 1-1 draw - a result which saw Arsenal confirmed as Premier League champions.City will surely be looking for revenge today as they return to the Etihad Stadium.Kick-off is at 2pm BST - join me!Share
