"Pep Guardiola's side sit fifth in the table after their 1-0 defeat at Aston Villa on Sunday, while Andoni Iraola's Bournemouth continue to impress and are second after a 2-0 home win over Nottingham Forest. Erling Haaland failed to find the net for just the second time in the league this campaign, and when he struggles, City often do too. The Norwegian has scored 65% of their league goals this season, underlining how dependent the team has become on his finishing touch."
"City's loss at Villa Park marked their third league defeat of the season and left them six points behind leaders Arsenal. The Cityzens did find their rhythm in Wednesday, however, coming from behind to beat Swansea City 3-1 away in the EFL Cup. That result extended their home winning streak to four games in all competitions, during which they have scored 12 goals and conceded only once."
