Manchester City take on Bournemouth at the Etihad Stadium in Enzo Maresca's first Premier League game as Blues boss on Sunday afternoon. Manchester City were handed a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Premier League champions Arsenal in the Community Shield last week, prompting criticism from fans on social media over the lacklustre nature of the club's summer transfer business. Enzo Maresca's squad conceded their first competitive goal of the brand new season within the opening 25 seconds of the encounter courtesy of Riccardo Calafiori, before further strikes from Kai Havertz and Martin Odegaard either side of half-time rounded off a brutal opening contest. Since last week's loss in South Wales, Manchester City have also seen midfielders Rodri and Tijjani Reijnders join FC Barcelona and Al Qadsiah respectively, as director of football Hugo Viana's remake of the first-team squad progresses. After losing his first competitive match as Manchester City manager to Mikel Arteta, Enzo Maresca now faces Bournemouth at the Etihad Stadium in his side's first Premier League fixture of the 2026/27 season. Elliot Anderson starts in midfield after completing a £116 million move from Nottingham Forest to the Etihad Stadium, having reported for pre-season a few weeks ago following an extended period of rest owing to his commitments for England at the FIFA World Cup in North America. Jeremy Doku suffered a calf injury against Arsenal in Wales and is missing from the matchday squad, with Matheus Nunes back fit and available for the hosts. Manchester City's squad could yet be very different when the summer transfer window shuts on September 1, with the Blues in the market for at least two new midfielders and a winger. Savinho is also absent from the matchday squad as he puts the final touches on a £85 million move to Tottenham as Manchester City prepare to record their most expensive ever sale. Midfielder Nico Gonzalez has reportedly been told by club officials that he is free to leave, despite the 24-year-old publicly expressing a desire to stay at the Etihad Stadium during pre-season media duties. Omar Marmoush is also in talks to follow Savinho to Tottenham, who are close to securing a double raid on a transitional Manchester City side. Ahead of Saturday's 14:00 [UK] kick-off between Manchester City and Bournemouth, here are the confirmed line-ups from the the Etihad Stadium. Manchester City Starting XI: Donnarumma; Khusanov, Guehi, Dias, Gvardiol; Lewis, Anderson, O'Reilly; Foden, Haaland, Semenyo.
