They were, however, beaten 2-1 at Bournemouth on Saturday – having also exited the Carabao Cup at Tottenham a few days earlier.

Sporting vs Man City prediction
Until the last few days at least, City had looked rather imperious thus far and won 5-0 on their last visit. Betting against them feels foolish.
