Bournemouth travel across the border to Swansea looking to continue their great recent form. The Cherries have picked up 6 points from their last 2 games and their resounding 4-0 win over Huddersfield last time out will give Eddie Howe real cause for optimism. Swansea have lost their last 5 matches in all competitions and need to pick up points quickly as they are already 2 points adrift of Premier League safety.
Swansea City
The pressure continues to pile on Paul Clement whose side have only scored 2 goals in their last 5 matches. Sat in 19th place in the table, the Swans have only picked up 8 points from their opening 12 games and have managed a mere 7 goals this term in the Premier League. Tammy Abraham has impressed so far on loan in South Wales and the England international has scored 5 goals for the Swans.

The Cherries were embroiled in relegation trouble prior to their back to back wins over Newcastle and Huddersfield. Eddie Howe’s men have climbed to 13th place in the table, with 13 points to their name after their opening 12 matches. Callum Wilson has returned from injury to give the Cherries a real boost and his hat-trick against Huddersfield last time out showed just how much he’d been missed at the Vitality.
