Vincent Kompany’s pre-match comments

“What you have to remember is that we also have a responsibility to manage the group and manage human beings. When you have a tough start you have to put things into context.

“All I can say is that Bournemouth away will be a tough away game. There’s going to be no easy game in this league.

“It’s about looking ahead and working out how you can get the points and in the end, whether a team is better or not, you always approach it with an ambition to get three points.”

Bournemouth: Neto, Aarons, Kelly, Zabarnyi, Kerkez, Brooks, Rothwell, Tavernier, Billing, Scott, Solanke
