The Blue Moon Army, which completed an unprecedented four consecutive Premier League championships last season, has a sharp decline this season. Although the team invested a lot of money during the winter window and upgraded the lineup, it was unable to stop the decline. The hope of winning the championship was also shattered in the FA Cup final, losing to Crystal Palace 0-1, leaving Manchester City empty of all four majors this season, and hitting a UEFA Champions League place in next season, which has become the most important goal of the Blue Moon Army's season finale.

On this match day, Manchester City ushered in the test of the second-to-last league in the Premier League, playing against Bournemouth at home. In this game, Manchester City played a smooth attack at home, and with the goals of Marmush, B Shi and Gonzalez, they easily defeated Bournemouth 3-1.

Before the Expedition to the Etihad Stadium, Bournemouth ranked 11th in the Premier League standings with a record of 14 wins, 11 draws and 11 losses. There is no pressure to relegate, and there is no dawn of a European match. It can be said that the last two rounds of the league have no practical significance to them.

Facing Bournemouth, who defeated his own 2-1 in the first leg of the season, Manchester City sent all their main players to play at home in this game, with only one goal, which is revenge. Ederson started to guard the roster, Gwadior, Akanji, Rubendias and Nunes built the back defense, and Gundogan partnered with Kovasic, Marmush, De Bruyne and B-seat lined up in the midfield, and Haaland was the single arrow.
