23'
The Swansea onslaught continues as Sigurdsson sends a teasing ball across the face of goal but Bournemouth do well to survive.
22'
Sigurdsson's free-kick is whipped in with some pace and Josh King almost turns it into his own net with his head. Fortunately for Bournemouth it's only a corner.
21'
Smith concedes a cheap free-kick as he stands on the toes of Kingsley. Swansea have a good opportunity now to whip a cross into the penalty area. Sigurdsson to take...
19'
DID YOU KNOW? Gylfi Sigurdsson has 11 Premier League assists this season - more than any other player - and also leads the way in distance covered (318.2km).
17'
The away supporters have travelled in great numbers for a long, long trip and they're making plenty of noise at the moment. They're side are doing OK as well.
16'
Cook does tremendously well to clear from Ayew's teasing cross. Bournemouth's defence has been so poor this season but they've stood up to the challenge in the opening stages today.
13'
Fraser curls a terrific cross to the back post to find Afobe but the forward is off balance and can't find the target.
12'
OVER! Llorente does well to tee up Sigurdsson to have a shot but the Icelandic playmaker can't keep his effort down from just outside the penalty area.
11'
Swansea are passing it around comfortably at the moment. They had a slow start to the game but appear to be settling into the contest now.

9'
Down at the other end and Fraser fires just wide of the target for Bournemouth. Both sides are trying to play good football this evening and they couldn't have asked for a better surface.
7'
First sign of attacking intent from Swansea as they win a free-kick which Sigurdsson delivers into a packed penalty area but no one can get their head on it and it goes out for a goal-kick.
6'
STAT: Eddie Howe's side could win back-to-back league matches for the first time since March 2016, when they claimed three straight victories - including a 3-0 home win against Swansea.
5'
The corner doesn't come to anything but Eddie Howe will be pleased with his side in the opening five minutes. It's very early but the hosts look like they're in the mood this evening.
4'
Nice and neat football from Bournemouth as they work the ball wide to Smith who forces the first corner of the match.
3'
The Cherries have started the game on the front foot and Eddie Howe's side seem to be full of confidence after last week's victory over West Ham.
2'
Swansea are only three points above the drop zone and they could really do without a defeat here.
