The Sky Blues are one of nine teams in England's top flight who are starting the season with a new man in charge, as former Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca has been given the reins after longtime manager Pep Guardiola stepped away from the sport.

Meanwhile, Bournemouth will also have a new manager as Marco Rose takes over from the departed Andoni Iraola, who is now in charge at Liverpool. Iraola led the Cherries to a sixth-place finish last season, earning them a spot in the Europa League, so Rose will also feel the weight of raised expectations.

Manchester City vs. Bournemouth prediction

Both teams will be looking to make a good first impression for their new managers, but there will be a bedding-in period for both sides.

That could lead to some disjointed play, but Man City's superior talent level should win out — especially at home.

Prediction: Manchester City 2-1 Bournemouth
