Almost a week on from their dominant derby triumph, Manchester City welcome Bournemouth to the Etihad Stadium for a Premier League clash on Saturday afternoon.
While the Citizens are bidding to extend their winning run to four matches in all competitions, the Cherries are hoping to bounce back from their EFL Cup fourth-round exit to Liverpool in midweek.
Just two days before Halloween, it was the Citizens who frightened the life out of the Red Devils and came away from Old Trafford with a well-deserved treat, with a brace from Erling Haaland and a strike from local lad Phil Foden helping the reigning champions claim the bragging rights in impressive fashion and pile more misery on their bitter rivals in the process.
Successes over Man United and Brighton & Hove Albion have put Man City back on track in their quest to win a record fourth successive Premier League title, following a minor blip in form before October's international break, but Guardiola's side still sit two points behind leaders Tottenham Hotspur, who face London rivals Chelsea on Monday.
The Citizens will welcome this weekend's return to the Etihad where they have won all 14 Premier League home matches in 2023 and have come out on top in each of their last 21 home games across all competitions – a record for an English team in the Premier League era.
