Shane’s Free Pick

Manchester City won their last game 3-0 and this game will at least be that big of a victory. Manchester City’s offense has a whole lot of confidence heading into this game but their defense has also been stepping up in a big way. Look for Manchester City to score four or five goals here, and Bournemouth will have trouble even finding the back of the net. Back Manchester City -2.5.
