Manchester City Vs Bournemouth Bet Builder: The Panel's 4-Leg Acca Boosted By Bet365
Manchester City may have stumbled at times recently, but Pep Guardiola’s side remain a formidable force at the Etihad.
Bournemouth, meanwhile, continue to exceed expectations, and those waiting for the wheels to come off their top-four challenge must wait some more.
Under Andoni Iraola, the Cherries have put on some blistering attacking displays and have shown a stubborn solidity at the back.
That has seen them pick up some impressive results already this season, but taking on Manchester City at the Etihad is one of the toughest tests any team will face.
City, who are 1/2 favourites with betting sites, have won every Premier League home meeting between these two sides since Bournemouth’s promotion in 2015, scoring freely in almost all of them - something they will be looking to continue in Sunday's showdown.
The Panel’s focus this week is another four-legged Bet Builder for Sunday’s 4.30pm kick-off, which Bet365 have boosted the price from 3/1 to 13/4!

Manchester City Vs Bournemouth Bet Builder: Sunday, 4.30pm
Manchester City Vs Bournemouth Bet Builder Leg 1: Over 1 Total Goals
The Panel's Bet Builder begins with what should be a safe leg.
Games between these two rarely end goalless, and given Manchester City's attacking firepower combined with Bournemouth's open style, this could be a goal fest.
City’s recent home matches and past meetings with Bournemouth have historically featured goals, with nine of the last 10 meetings in all competitions having had three or more.
The '1+ total goals' score builds a solid bedrock for this week's boosted bet builder.

Manchester City Vs Bournemouth Bet Builder Leg 2: Erling Haaland To Score Anytime
It may not be the most original second selection, but Haaland to score anytime should be another safe leg.
Even with his ridiculously high standard, the big Norwegian is in a particularly rich vein of form in front of goal.
He has scored 11 Premier League goals already this season, with six of those coming at the Etihad.
The prolific 25-year-old does not have a great record against Bournemouth (one goal and one assist in six Premier League appearances), but in his current lethal form, it is hard to see him not hitting the back of the net again.

Manchester City Vs Bournemouth Bet Builder Leg 3: Antoine Semenyo 2+ Fouls Committed
You would think that when including Semenyo in a bet builder, you would be discussing possible goals and assists.
Semenyo has been one of the league's standout attackers this season, but one stat that goes under the radar is the number of fouls he commits during games.
The 25-year-old has committed a total of 21 fouls this season, and has registered at least two in eight of his nine games.
He can be clumsy in his battles to recover the ball from his opponents, and against a high-pressing team like City, he will be under pressure throughout.
The probability of him committing at least two fouls is a logical third leg for the Panel's Bet Builder.

Manchester City Vs Bournemouth Bet Builder Leg 4: Tijjani Reijnders 2+ Total Shots
The final leg is perhaps the riskiest, but it’s supported by the numbers and past performances.
Reijnders joined City from AC Milan in the summer and has been one of their top performers this season.
He may have been bought as a more defensive-minded midfielder, but he makes eye-catching forward runs and likes to test goalkeepers from distance.
Tijjani Reijnders' Recent Shot History:
Premier League Opponent | Result | Shots |
Aston Villa (a) | 0-1 | 2 |
Everton (h) | 2-0 | 3 |
Brentford (a) | 1-0 | 2 |
Burnley (h) | 5-1 | 3 |
Arsenal (a) | 1-1 | 1 |
The Dutchman has not scored since the first day of the season against Wolves, but it is not for the want of trying.
Reijnders has attempted a shot in every game he has played this season and has had a total of 19.
In a fixture likely to see City dominate, he should find plenty of space to test the keeper. It's a speculative but reasonable final leg.
