Cherries visit the Etihad this weekend in hope of claiming a first win away at Manchester City.
When we talk about Cherries’ torrid record away against Manchester City, we’re not just talking about games at the Cityzen’s current home of the Etihad, nor games in the Premier League era.
Simply, Bournemouth have never won as the away team in this fixture - in 13 visits to the Etihad and Maine Road, Cherries’ best result is a 3-3 draw back in 1989.
That was just their second away game against City, but surely no one would have predicted that Cherries would still be waiting for a victory in Manchester against the Sky Blues 37 years later.
