The teams emerge into the wet and cold at the Liberty Stadium, and exchange handshakes ahead of the playing of La Marseillaise - the French national anthem - in tribute to those affected by the Paris attacks.

While the French national anthem - La Marseillaise - will be played at every Premier League game today, Swansea have paid their own tribute to those affected by the Paris attacks.

The front cover of today's match programme shows French striker Bafetimbi Gomis holding his country's flag after scoring in January, his tribute to those killed when the Paris-based Charlie Hebdo magazine was attacked earlier this year.

"Only one Premier League win since the end of August for Swansea and a solitary point for Bournemouth from their last six in the league - you can see why this is seen as a crucial fixture.

"The Premier League needs young British managers like Monk and Howe. They won't be enjoying this challenging period in their career, but will be learning much from it."

It's not been a great few weeks for Bournemouth, but despite a run of four defeats in a row that has seen the Cherries slide into the relegation zone, boss Eddie Howe is planning to stick to his beliefs.

"We are not going to change our ideals and our way of working and our way of playing for various reasons," he says.

"For one, we have players who are very good technically and that have been used to working for three years with me, and to suddenly wake up one day and say we are going to change things totally wouldn't be beneficial."

Having seen his Swansea side lose five of their last eight Premier League matches, Garry Monk is a manager under pressure.

Ahead of today’s match against Bournemouth - with only one win in nine themselves - he gave a staunch rebuttal to reports he is facing the sack.

That bullish spirit extends to today’s programme notes of chairman Huw Jenkins, who takes aim at “media articles trying to expose weaknesses and instability within our football club”.

Jenkins adds: “We cannot just end up another run-of-the-mill Premier League club waiting for further investment to splash out on new players.

“We have to be different; we must think differently - as we have done for many years. Then with a little luck we can slowly get ourselves back to the levels and expectations we demand from everyone.”
