Manchester City must quickly shake off a disappointing Community Shield performance as they open their Premier League season at home against Bournemouth on Sunday.
A depleted City squad now under the guidance of Enzo Maresca was thoroughly outclassed by the reigning Premier League champions, who romped to a comfortable 3–0 win in Cardiff. Maresca's side struggled to make any real impact against Arsenal, aside from a brief spell late in the first half, and also appeared worryingly vulnerable at the back.
Maresca maintained his team will take lessons from the loss, and they face a stern test against a Bournemouth side gearing up for an exciting 2026–27 season. A sixth-place finish last term has earned the Cherries a Europa League berth, but new boss Marco Rose must first ensure a solid start to their domestic campaign.
Bournemouth's record at the Etihad Stadium is woeful, and no incoming Premier League manager has ever claimed a debut victory at Man City's home ground.
Here's how to catch Sunday's Premier League showdown from wherever you are in the world.
