Eddie Howe says recent results against Liverpool and Arsenal can help AFC Bournemouth beat Manchester City on Monday.
AFC Bournemouth have beaten Liverpool in a 4-3 thriller and drawn with Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur at Vitality Stadium this season.
Two points from their past five matches have dropped the Cherries to 14th, but with a home record against the current top six that reads W1 D2 L1 Howe believes his side can mix it with the big clubs.
"We've done well against the top teams this year and we'll have to do that again," he told afcb.co.uk.
