Weds team news: Cherki a sub again, no Pedro

The final two Gameweek 37 matches take place tonight.

Bournemouth v Manchester City gets us underway at 19:30 BST, with Chelsea v Tottenham Hotspur kicking off 45 minutes later.

Both the title and the final relegation spot could be sewn up tonight. If City drop points on the south coast, Arsenal will be crowned champions. If Spurs beat Chelsea (a draw will almost certainly do, too), West Ham United are down.

TEAM NEWS

At the Vitality, City boss Pep Guardiola makes two changes from Saturday’s FA Cup final win over Chelsea.

Mateo Kovacic for Omar Marmoush is the one outfield alteration, while Gianluigi Donnarumma returns to take his place from cup goalkeeper James Trafford.

Rayan Cherki is again only among the substitutes.

Andoni Iraola’s one change is an enforced one.

Tyler Adams is in for the suspended Ryan Christie.

Meanwhile, at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea make four changes from their narrow defeat to Man City on Saturday.

Malo Gusto and Reece James drop to the bench, while Joao Pedro and Levi Colwill are absent altogether.

Josh Acheampong, Andrey Santos, Pedro Neto and Liam Delap come in to Calum McFarlane’s side.

Spurs are unchanged from Gameweek 36.

Antonin Kinsky retains his place, despite Guglielmo Vicario returning to the matchday squad.

LINE-UPS

Bournemouth XI: Petrovic, Smith, Hill, Senesi, Truffert, Adams, Smith, Scott, Rayan, Kroupi, Evanilson.

Subs: Mandas, Cook, Brooks, Diakite, Adli, Unai, Toth, Gannon-Doak, Kluivert.

Manchester City XI: Donnarumma, Nunes, Khusanov, Guehi, O’Reilly, Kovacic, Rodri, Silva, Doku, Semenyo, Haaland.

Subs: Trafford, Dias, Stones, Gvardiol, Reijnders, Cherki, Savinho, Foden, Marmoush.

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Kinsky, Porro, Danso, van de Ven, Udogie, Palhinha, Bentancur, Kolo Muani, Gallagher, Tel, Richarlison.

Substitutes: Vicario, Spence, Dragusin, Souza, Gray, Sarr, Bissouma, Bergvall, Maddison.

Chelsea XI: Sanchez, Acheampong, Fofana, Hato, Cucurella, Caicedo, Andrey Santos, Palmer, Fernandez, Neto, Delap.

Subs: Jorgensen, Chalobah, Sarr, James, Essugo, Derry, Garnacho, Mhueka, Kavuma-McQueen.

    How funny would it be if Bournemouth qualfies for CL and Shitty gets punished so they don't get CL and Semenyo has to watch his former team play there without him?

        As an Arsenal fan, that would be my fear, though Palace have got the Conference League final three days later, so they'd play their B-team. Anyway, looks like it won't come to that 🙂

    As a spurs fan, I’m pretty sure we go down, and it will be hilarious and deserved. Think West Ham beat Leeds. If they do we need a draw and survive on goal difference, but I’m not that confident of a draw tbh, I think Everton will win. I can already picture Richarlison’s face.

    We are at home too were we absolutely terrible.

    I tuned into a Spurs stream earlier and 50% of our fans thought we would draw tonight. I’d love to know what drugs they are on.
