David Coote will take charge of Manchester City versus Bournemouth on Saturday.

Fresh from an emphatic opening weekend win over West Ham, the Premier League Champions welcome newly promoted Bournemouth to the Etihad Stadium for their first home fixture of the 2022/23 season.

City, who dramatically beat Aston Villa to retain the title during their last fixture at home, began proceedings with a dominant 2-0 win over West Ham on Sunday.

Goals in both halves from debutant Erling Haaland sealed a deserved three points, as the Sky Blues made early gains on both Manchester United and Liverpool - both of whom dropped points on the opening weekend.

Haaland will be hoping for similar success on his home debut, after scoring twice at the London Stadium last weekend.

Bournemouth themselves also kicked off the campaign with a 2-0 victory.

The Cherries beat Aston Villa on Saturday afternoon, courtesy of goals from Jefferson Lerma and Kieffer Moore.

A trip to the Champions is the first of three challenging fixtures for Scott Parker's side, who face Arsenal and Liverpool later this month.

Fellow summer recruits Julian Alvarez and Kalvin Phillips could also be in-line to make home debuts this weekend.

Meanwhile, goalkeeper Stefan Ortega may have to wait for his first competitive minutes.

City have never lost to Bournemouth, winning 15 of the 17 meetings between the two sides.

The Sky Blues are on an 11 match winning streak against the South Coast club in all competitions.

Liam Delap scored on debut when the Cherries last visited the Etihad, in the Carabao Cup in 2020.

David Silva and Gabriel Jesus were on the scoresheet the last time City faced Bournemouth in the top-flight.

Ahead of Saturday's meeting between the Champions and newly promoted Bournemouth, the Premier League have announced the match officials for Saturday's fixture.

Match Referee
