Bournemouth arrive at City on an eight-match unbeaten run and England Under-21s star Scott (below) said Semenyo’s crucial role goes beyond goalscoring.

“He's such a good outlet for us,” he added.

“You know that if you're in trouble, it’s find Antoine pretty much.

“He's almost a focal point where, when things are going wrong, we know we've got Antoine who can almost get us out of a bad situation, which he did at Fulham with the goal where we were 1-0 down and he just created something out of nothing. That gives us the extra boost to go on and win the game.”
