When I saw the first half against Swansea that is what I want. "Maybe we didn't create too many chances but they had 10 players behind the ball and barely crossed the halfway line."Since Tottenham at home [a 2-2 draw where Aguero played 90 minutes], West Ham and Crystal Palace I think we are more stable. We have control more." City have put 13 goals past Bournemouth in their previous three Premier League meetings but Guardiola expects the quest for a fourth consecutive win in all competitions to be a challenging one at Vitality Stadium."Bournemouth at home are a tough team. [Harry] Arter comes at you and all the players are so aggressive," he added, with his team 10 points shy of runaway leaders Chelsea in third. "It's outstanding what they have done in the last few years. They are an honest team."They have fast guys to use on the counter-attack. It will be a tough game."</blockquote>
