Man City vs Bournemouth LIVE: Latest updates from Premier League fixture tonight

10 mins: De Bruyne has been busy so far. He threads a pass through to Nunes, who gets his foot to it, but Kepa – after a moment of hesitation – rushes off his line to smother.

8 mins: Silva has a great chance but can’t find a teammate for a pull-back. Bournemouth immediately counter, but Tavernier takes too long to take a touch on the edge of the City box and is robbed.

Now City recycle a move set up by De Bruyne; Zabarnyi heads off his cross but it winds into the path of Kovacic, who shoots and fires narrowly wide.

6 mins: Ruben Dias is caught napping and Kluivert darts round him – but does he slip? It looks like he loses his footing and his shot is tamely fired at Ederson.

City counter and De Bruyne does what he does best, turning round a lovely ball on the spin for Silva. Silva is marked closely by Kerkez and lays it off on the edge of the area but the move loses steam and Kepa collects.

2 mins: Some early pressing by Bournemouth; Kerkez is given lots of space down the left and lays the ball off for Tavernier, but no-one can meet his cross.

Semenyo lobs in the resulting throw-in but it’s claimed easily by Ederson.

Huge cheers greet Kevin de Bruyne’s face as it’s flashed up on the big screens, and the fans unfurl a massive banner reading ‘king’.

Moments from kickoff in his last home game for the side.

It is three decades since the FA Cup was won by the ‘dogs of war’. It is fair to say Pep Guardiola has never modelled his midfields on the scrappers and scufflers who brought Joe Royle’s Everton glory in 1995. But, some 30 years on, after another FA Cup final that a Manchester club entered as favourites and lost 1-0 to underdogs, the lament from Bernardo Silva was that a Guardiola side had too few warriors.
