Manchester City returns to Premier League action this week following a narrow 1-0 defeat in the FA Cup final against Crystal Palace, where a missed penalty proved costly. The team now faces Bournemouth in a high-stakes match as the race for Champions League qualification intensifies. With only one point separating third and seventh place in the league standings, City must secure four points from their remaining fixtures against Bournemouth and Fulham to guarantee a top-five finish. A game in hand offers a slight advantage, but the margin for error remains slim in the fiercely competitive battle for European football.
