Two tough games coming up this week in this relentless schedule of fixtures, Bournemouth home and Cardiff away.
Unfortunately Swans key central defender Ryan Bennett is still out for the next two games, having picked up a hamstring injury in the Boro match. Another of our centre-backs Marc Guehi is a doubt after going off on Saturday with a head injury.
Bournemouth, currently second in the table, were recently relegated from the PL after five seasons. Eddie Howe their manager left by mutual consent, with long serving assistant Jason Tindall taking over.
There was a clear out of twelve players, selling Nathan Ake to Man City for £45m, Callum Wilson to Newcastle for £20m and Aaron Ramsdale to Sheff Utd for £18.5m, so no shortage of funds there.
Link to the Swans, their first team coach is Graeme Jones, ex-Swans assistant manager. Also ex-Welsh International Carl Fletcher is their U-21 coach.
Bournemouth surprisingly lost their last home match 2-3 to the strong away team Preston. It was only their second defeat of the season.
Ex-Swan loanee Sam Surridge scored one of the Bournemouth goals, and ex-Swan Scott Sinclair one for Preston.
Bournemouth bounced back in style a few days later by trouncing Barnsley at Oakwell 0-4, Surridge was on the scoresheet again.
They have a good spread of goals in the team with ex-Chelsea striker Dominic Solanke on six, ex-Brugge winger Arnaut Groenevelde on five, and ex-West Ham winger Junior Stanislas on four.
