City are looking for their only chance at a trophy this season. In the Premier League, Manchester City sits in fifth place with 48 points, the result of 14 wins, 6 draws, and 9 losses.
Guardiola’s team is focused on winning the FA Cup. They’re coming off a 4-1 victory over Plymouth Argyle in the fifth round, but now face a tougher opponent from the Premier League.
On the other hand, Bournemouth come into this clash having gone four consecutive matches without a win in the domestic league. Iraola’s team has the opportunity to secure an important victory for their fans at Vitality Stadium.
They already played at the same stadium in the Premier League this season, where Bournemouth defeated Manchester City 2-0. This time, the match will be a single one, with extra time. If there is no winner after 120 minutes, the winner will be decided in a penalty shootout.
The meeting will take place on Sunday, March 30, at 5:30 p.m.
