Gvardiol back! Manchester City and Bournemouth name starting XIs for PL clash

Pep Guardiola has named his starting XI for the trip to the south coast, with several key players back.

Manchester City were believed to have a whole host of injury problems as they head into their clash with Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium, but those have eased with the return of Nathan Ake and Josko Gvardiol.
