Garry Monk may have dismissed speculation about his position as Swansea’s manager as being generated by “outside influence” but if his side lose at home to Bournemouth, who are without a win in six league games, it will only increase the pressure. Monk, who has a fully-fit squad to choose from, may be suffering from the raised expectations generated by last season’s record points haul. Bournemouth have lacked a cutting edge since Callum Wilson’s serious knee injury and Eddie Howe needs Joshua King to fill the void in the attacking third. Rich Flower
