Howe should give these 3 Bournemouth players a chance against Manchester City

Junior Stanislas

Junior Stanislas lost his place in the side for the trip to Everton last weekend after a below-par showing in the Cherries’ 2-0 defeat to Crystal Palace a few days earlier.

However, with one goal and two assists in his preceding four matches, the 27-year-old is clearly in decent form, which suggests that his display against Palace may have been a mere one-off.

Thus, the former West Ham winger could be recalled to the team to face City on Monday, as he could cause a vulnerable City defence some problems with his pace and energy.

City have occasionally lost concentration at the back in recent games, so Stanislas’ quick-thinking and agility in the final third could be what Bournemouth need to get back to winning ways on Monday.
