Can Cherries 'rid themselves of the Man City monkey on their back'?

Manchester City. While most Cherries fans would have bitten your hand off if you had offered them four points from Arsenal and Villa, City – historically at least – have been an entirely different prospect. For, not only have Bournemouth failed to take a single point from 14 Premier League meetings with Pep Guardiola's sky blue giants (the best 100% record by one team against another in top-flight history), going back even earlier to six encounters in the Football League in the 1980s and 1990s, the Cherries have a further two draws, four defeats and no victories to their name.
