Manchester City get their 2026–27 Premier League campaign underway at the Etihad Stadium against a Bournemouth team preparing for its first taste of European soccer.
Two new managers face off at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday, as Enzo Maresca encounters Marco Rose for the very first time.
Both have big shoes to fill, with Maresca having the small task of succeeding a genius in Pep Guardiola, while Rose was confirmed as Andoni Iraola‘s successor as early as April. A smooth transition process has been undergone on the south coast, with Rose inheriting a group of players that finished sixth in the Premier League last season, thus earning a Europa League spot.
Man City are ultimately aiming to quickly knock Arsenal off their perch at the Premier League’s summit, but there was a distinct gulf between the two teams in last week’s Community Shield. The Gunners strolled to a 3–0 victory, and Maresca insisted that the outing was a valuable learning experience for his group of players.
The Cityzens currently don’t look like serious challengers, with work needed in the final weeks of the window, especially in midfield.
