Bournemouth vs Manchester City

Manchester City’s 32-game Premier League unbeaten run has come to an end, while they’ve lost successive matches in all competitions for the first time since September 2023.

This is Bournemouth’s first ever win against Manchester City in all competitions (D2 L19 before today), while it’s their first league win over the reigning Premier League champions since a 3-0 win over Chelsea in January 2018.

Manchester City have conceded the opening goal in five of their first 10 Premier League games this season, their most in their first 10 games of a top-flight campaign since 2006-07 (also 5).

Bournemouth have won none of their 20 league games against Man City (D2 L18). It’s the most one side has faced another without ever winning in English Football League history.

Manchester City have won all 14 of their Premier League games against Bournemouth by an aggregate score of 45-7. It’s the best 100% record any team has against another in English top-flight history.

Bournemouth have lost all 11 of their Premier League games against sides starting the day top of the table, the worst 100% such loss rate in the competition’s history.

Bournemouth have won their last two Premier League home games, including a 2-0 win over Arsenal last time out. Only three times previously have they won three in a row at the Vitality Stadium, though the most recent occasion was in March/April this year.

Manchester City are unbeaten in all 28 of their Premier League games so far in 2024 (W23 D5). Only two teams in English top-flight history have had a longer run without defeat from the start of a calendar year – Chelsea in 2005 (29) and Nottingham Forest in 1978 (35).
