Guardiola believes Gary O’Neil’s team will provide tough opposition at the Vitality Stadium.
He said: “I saw many things I like about Bournemouth.

“They are so intense. If they do it away, imagine at home - so intense in high pressing. Really, really good.
“After they defend compact, they want to try and play in different shapes.
