Bournemouth attempt to make history this weekend when they play host to Manchester City in the FA Cup quarter-finals. The Premier League side have never reached the semi-finals of this competition. Can the CHerries make it to Wembley? Here's our match prediction.

The home side are playing in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup for only the third time in their history. They are tenth in the Premier League but that's only four points behind their opponents. Their form has slipped a little in recent weeks though.

Manchester City are so consistent in this competition. Not since 2018 have the Citizens failed to make it to Wembley for an FA Cup semi-final. They last lifted the trophy two seasons ago and were the losing finalist last year. It's been a strange season for them with their Premier League title defence being a hugely disappointing one. Domestically, they won the Community Shield this season but this is their only hope of adding to that silverware.

Bournemouth - Manchester City: Form Analysis

Over 90 minutes, Bournemouth have gone five games without a win. Their most recent match saw the Cherries lose 2-1 at home to Brentford. They have failed to win any of their last four home games over 90 minutes.

To reach this quarter-final, they have beaten West Bromwich Albion, won away at Everton and beat Wolves at home on penalties after a 1-1 draw. Only one of their last six home FA Cup ties has been lost. That was a 1-0 loss to Leicester City last season. 

City still remain an inconsistent team.

Manchester City lost 2-1 away to Bournemouth last November. That was the second in a row of five successive defeats. City are also inconsistent at present with just a couple of wins in their last six matches. Four of their last six away matches have ended in defeat.

It's been an eventful time for them in the FA Cup this season. They have beaten Salford City, Leyton Orient and Plymouth Argyle with 13 goals scored. However, they have managed to go behind against both Orient and Plymouth.

Bournemouth & Manchester City Squad Analysis

Some say the FA Cup is not what it used to be. Tell that to the Bournemouth fans and players who are dreaming of reaching their first ever FA Cup semi-final. A day out at Wembley where the semi-finals are played (a wrong decision by the way) is not to be sniffed at.

As will have been the case for Manchester City, the past week will have been spent hoping that their players didn't get injured playing internationals for their countries. Bournemouth seems to have got through those games unscathed.

Suspensions have hit the Bournemouth squad.

Ryan Christie has been having groin problems this season but didn't have any problems playing for Scotland against Croatia. It's not all good news for the home side. Both Milos Kerkez and Dean Huijsen are suspended for this match.

There are still doubts over Luis Sinisterra who had to go off early in their last game against Brentford and didn't play during the international break. Both Marcos Senesi and Julian Araujo are back in full training and should feature in some way for Bournemouth this weekend.

Manchester City have an excellent recent FA Cup record. Their fans are used to going to Wembley each season for at least a semi-final. Former Bournemouth player Nathan Ake won't be playing against his former side this weekend.

John Stones and Manuel Akanji are also both ruled out with Bernardo Silva and Oscar Bobb doubtful. Both Marmoush and Haaland are fit though and likely to cause plenty of problems for the Bournemouth defence.

Our Bournemouth vs Manchester City Prediction

Neither of these clubs are in the best of form at present. Bournemouth have been struggling in recent matches and lost their last home game 2-1 to Brentford.  They have the chance here to make it into the FA Cup semi-finals for the first time but have conceded in six consecutive games.

You never quite know these days what you are going to get with Manchester City. They are still capable of stunning displays but then have some disappointing performances. Our main Bournemouth v Manchester City prediction is over 2.5 goals to be scored.
