Manchester City have resembled the mythical Greek Lernaean Hydra in the early going on offence -- stop one option and two more appear.Even without their best forward heading into Saturdays home contest against Bournemouth, Pep Guardiola and the Citizens should still have more than enough firepower to maintain their perfect start and stay atop the Premier League table.The Citizens have already grabbed early bragging rights in Manchester by virtue of their 2-1 win over United at Old Trafford last weekend. They have scored 21 goals in winning all seven of their matches under Guardiola and showed no signs of slowing down Wednesday, putting forth a clinical 4-0 demolition of German side Borussia Monchengladbach to open group play in the Champions League.Sergio Aguero notched his second hat trick in the European competition and his six Champions League goals match his haul for all of last season. However, the Uruguay international will miss this contest as he serves the second of his three-match ban for elbowing West Hams Winston Reid on Aug. 28.Sergio is good because he is good, Guardiola said. He was good with Manuel (Pellegrini) and he is good with the national team. He just has a talent to score goals that is natural. I cannot teach him that.What I can tell him is there is a team behind him that is going to help him. I want to convince him to help them and if it happens in that way hes going to score a lot of goals, just like Kele (Iheanacho) and all our strikers.Manchester City, though, may scarcely miss Aguero if last seasons double is a harbinger of this weekends contest. He missed the corresponding fixture due to a knee injury, but Raheem Sterling picked up the slack and fired in a first-half hat trick to power a 5-1 victory at the Etihad. Aguero did score at Dean Court as City bulldozed Bournemouth 4-0.All told, Manchester City put 18 of their 30 shots on target.Guardiola has a staggering embarrassment of riches to choose from to replace Aguero. Last week, he paired Iheanacho with Nolito up front, with Sterling and Kevin De Bruyne providing service along with incisive runs to help pull apart a United defense that had conceded only one goal heading into their derby.And if the prospects of slowing down City werent already daunting enough for the league, Guardiola unveiled summer signing Ilkay Gundogan. He made his debut in impressive fashion Wednesday as a late replacement in the starting XI for David Silva. The former Borussia Dortmund midfielder came to City for ￡21 million, and looked every bit the playmaker Guardiola sought for his system.Its always a surprise when a player goes so long without playing and plays the way he did, Guardiola told Citys official website after Wednesdays victory. It shows how good he is. He is so intelligent and he is really good when arriving in the box. His qualities will help us a lot.Guardiola was unsure if Silva would return for this match, but if the burgeoning partnership of De Bruyne and Gundogan shown Wednesday was any indication, the manager can afford to be patient with Silva.Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe knows his side are marked underdogs heading into this contest. While the Cherries (1-1-2) are riding high after beating West Bromwich Albion 1-0 last weekend and will be the more rested team, Howe knows his club will have to be markedly better to make it two wins on the bounce.I see Manchester City as potential champions, Howe told the teams official website. They have a manager who, in my opinion, is right at the very top -- theyve obviously started very well. I dont usually say this about opponents but I enjoy watching them.It will be a difficult game though, were going to have to be at the very top of our game and they may have to have a day where they dont perform so well, if those two things happen then we have a chance.The sight of Callum Wilson scoring his first Premier League goal since suffering a gruesome torn ACL last season was a welcome site for Cherries supporters. He had eight goals in 18 matches across all competitions after bagging 20 in helping Bournemouth achieve promotion in the 2014-15 season.Its been a long road, the striker admitted. You just wait for moments like that, to get the winner. Obviously its taken four games into the season to get going, but hopefully thats the start now and they can begin flowing in.Its uncertain if Howe will give midfielder Jack Wilshire his first start for Bournemouth. The Arsenal loanee played the final 27 minutes against the Baggies, showing some versatility as he started in the midfield behind Wilson before moving to the wing.Ive been really pleased with Jack Wilshire, he was a contributing factor to us winning the game. He has outstanding quality, Howe said. Art Monk Redskins Jersey . 8 Kansas to a 64-63 win over Texas Tech on Tuesday night. The freshman from Vaughan, Ont.
