Swansea City v Bournemouth: match preview

Swansea City v Bournemouth
Swansea City v Bournemouth: probable starters in bold, contenders in light

The pressure is building on Paul Clement and, although the Swansea manager is confident his job is not on the line, another defeat would be a huge blow, especially with a trip to Chelsea to come on Wednesday. Tammy Abraham will have to miss that game because of his loan agreement and is also a major doubt against Bournemouth because of a back problem. Eddie Howe’s side, with three wins from their past four league games, appear resurgent and will fancy their chances. Stuart James
