Bournemouth
Bournemouth's Alex Scott is facing a lengthy spell on the sidelines with a knee injury, while goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga (thigh), Luis Sinisterra (muscle) and Philip Billing (illness) will all be assessed ahead of kickoff after missing last weekend's match.
Iraola is unlikely to make too many changes, if any, to his starting lineup, but Adam Smith could replace Julian Araujo at right-back and join Illia Zabarnyi, Marcos Senesi and Milos Kerkez in a four-man defence.
After scoring as a substitute last time out, Evanilson will be hoping to force his way back into the first XI ahead of ex-Man City striker Enes Unal, while either Marcus Tavernier or Justin Kluivert is set to operate in the number 10 role.
Bournemouth possible starting lineup:
Kepa; Smith, Zabarnyi, Senesi, Kerkez; Cook, Christie; Semenyo, Tavernier, Ouattara; Evanilson
Manchester City
As for Man City, they are still having to cope without newly-crowned Ballon d'Or winner Rodri (ACL), Oscar Bobb (leg fracture) Kevin De Bruyne (groin), Kyle Walker (knee), Jeremy Doku, Jack Grealish (both unspecified) due to injury.
The Citizens' growing injury list now also includes Savinho and Manuel Akanji; the former was stretchered off against Spurs with an apparent ankle injury, while the latter picked up a groin problem during the warm-up, and both players have emerged as doubts for Saturday. Josko Gvardiol will also be assessed after sustaining a knock at the end of Wednesday's game.
Guardiola could recall as many as five players who did not start in midweek, with Ederson, Gvardiol - if fit - Mateo Kovacic, Bernardo Silva and Erling Haaland all expected to feature in the first XI.
Manchester City possible starting lineup:
Ederson; Stones, Dias, Gvardiol; Lewis, Kovacic; Bernardo, Gundogan, Foden, Nunes; Haaland
Prediction: Bournemouth 1-2 Manchester City
