Manchester City Premier League Guide: The Latest Fixtures, Results, Team News and Man City Odds

Manchester City have been the dominant team in English football over the last seven years or so. The 2024/25 campaign was City’s first true down year in half a decade, however, with Pep Guardiola’s team a long way from title contention and failing to reach the latter stages of the Champions League.

City still head into the 2025/26 season with ambitions of returning to the top of the English game. Premier League betting markets remain high on City as a contender, even with Kevin De Bruyne departing and other areas of the squad requiring reinforcements.

When is Manchester City’s next Premier League Fixture?

Manchester City’s next Premier League fixture is at home to Bournemouth on May 20. This match has been rearranged due to City’s involvement in the FA Cup final on May 17.

Bournemouth, who were in the top six for much of the season, have dropped off the pace in recent weeks. They still have an outside shot at a top seven placing, however, and have staged plenty of upsets this term.

City may have dropped out of the Champions League places by the time this match kicks off. If they win their remaining Premier League matches, they are guaranteed of a place in next season’s premier club competition.

What are the odds Manchester City win their next Premier League match?

Manchester City are 11/20 favourites for the visit of Bournemouth. Only three teams have accumulated more road points than Bournemouth so far this season, but City have the second-best home record and have won four straight matches at the Etihad.

What is the latest Manchester City injury and transfer news?

Rodri is still recovering from a cruciate ligament tear and may not return in time for this summer’s Club World Cup. Foot surgery is expected to keep Nathan Ake sidelined for the remainder of the campaign, while John Stones is a candidate to return from a hamstring issue for the match against Bournemouth.

With De Bruyne leaving the club in the summer, City are expected to be very active in the transfer market. Florian Wirtz seems to be the club’s main target, with Morgan Gibbs-White reported as a possible alternative if Wirtz signs elsewhere. Jack Grealish is likely to leave the Etihad, with a loan move to Newcastle reported as a possible outcome.

Who are Manchester City’s key players?

Ederson, Rodri, Erling Haaland, and Josko Gvardiol are City’s four most important players heading into the 2025/26 season. They are nowhere near as dominant without Rodri, Haaland is the most dangerous striker in world football, and Ederson is integral to Guardiola’s high line.

Gvardiol played by far the most minutes of any City player in 2024/25, and has become a very effective left-back.
