Pep Guardiola’s resources are depleted with Fernandinho and Aymeric Laporte both out injured, while Sergio Aguero has complained of exhaustion, but Gabriel Jesus and John Stones are both back and fully fit.
Bournemouth are struggling for form after such an impressive first half of the season, so a shock win against the champions would be a timely boost. Follow it live:

Ayoze Perez cooly slots into the net, but the Spaniard is three yards offside as a shot deflects into his path.
Lukasz Fabianski wasn't even remotely concerned as Perez controls and passes into the corner, which is indicative of just how far Perez had strayed.
29 minutes
Ryan Fredericks and Mark Noble look to combine with a one-two, but the former is a little too physical in trying to move past Matt Ritchie onto his captain's turned-on pass and the linesman indicates he has fouled Ritchie.
31 minutes
Wasted!
Isaac Hayden considers his options for too long on halfway and the claret-and-blue bodies swarm, Felipe Anderson released and moving into a dangerous area.
Three teammates are free, one left, two right, but Anderson fails to make up his mind, eventually stabbing towards the two but only finding Newcastle boots.
32 minutes
Javier Manquillo latches on to a clever diagonal and stretches to hook back across, Angelo Ogbonna shinning behind for the corner.
Aaron Cresswell is down again. He missed the midweek game with Manchester City due to a broken toe, and this may be a recurrence. Arthur Masuaku is stripping off.
33 minutes
Cresswell limps off. A blow for West Ham.
The attack-minded Masuaku does indeed take his place.
34 minutes
Robert Snodgrass looks for a chipped, curling pass for Manuel Lanzini finding space past Fabian Schar, Lanzini's best attempt to leap and bring down the pass just unable to corral a clever attempted ball.
36 minutes
Arthur Masuaku steps in firmly on Ayoze Perez, the ball rebounding away to Felipe Anderson, who shifts the ball past Fabian Schar and collides with the Swiss centre-half 20 yards from goal on the left.
Free kick, yellow card for Schar.
37 minutes
Into the wall from Manuel Lanzini.
Lanzini is returned the ball by Robert Snodgrass and cleverly feints into the box, but his attempted curler is skew-whiff, and sails out of play for a throw.
38 minutes
Meatier than an abattoir.
Sean Longstaff is just second to a ball rolling across midfield, Robert Snodgrass also on the slide, the pair colliding rather uncomfortably.
The West Ham crowd are baying for blood rather with Longstaff lunging, but it is only a yellow card, a timing issue, and Chris Kavanagh agrees.
