Manchester City are back in action on Tuesday night when they will look to apply pressure to Arsenal heading into the final game of the season. For Pep Guardiola's men, the equation is simple - they must win both of their remaining games and hope for an Arsenal slip-up, and if one doesn't come, then not even the two wins will be enough.

City come into this one on the back of an FA Cup win following a rather unentertaining win over Chelsea, but Guardiola and his men will take silverware however it comes. Opponents Bournemouth welcome City after a big win over Fulham, which saw them move up to sixth in the table.

A win here will keep the Cherries in with a chance of catching Liverpool in fifth on the final day of the season, while even a point will be enough to guarantee Europa League football for next season, given they are three points ahead of Brentford in eighth.

City will benefit from having a fuily fit squad here - a rarity at this stage of the season - but they do have a much quicker turnaround, leading Guardiola to say: "They have 10 days to prepare for a game as they fight for the Champions League so they have an argument to be the best version of themselves. We will be prepare the best way knowing what we have to do. It is not complicated, we have to win and take the hopes to the last game against Aston Villa."

But such is the price of competing for silverware on multiple front, and City simply have to find a way to get the job done here if they want to keep their title hopes alive. Here we take a look at the Bournemouth injury news, given City have a clean bill of health.

Ryan Christie - Out (Suspended)

Christie is not available for this one after a red card. His season is over.

Alejandro Jimenez - Out (Suspended)

Jiminez has been suspended by the club for the rest of the season. A club post read: "AFCB are aware of posts circulating on social media involving right-back, Alex Jimenez. The club understand the seriousness of the matter and it is currently being investigated. As a result, Alex will not be included in the squad for tomorrow’s PL game vs FFC and the club will be making no further comment at this time."

Lewis Cook - Fit

It was hoped Cook would be available for the last game. but he didn't quite make it. Logically, he will be available for this one.

Julio Soler - Fit

Soler is another who has been close over recent weeks and should be available here.
