A change from Bournemouth as Gradel comes on for King.
90' +1
Three minutes of added time have been allocated by the referee which is only really serving to prolong Swansea's agony.
89'
Bournemouth would have been expecting a real dogfight out there tonight against a fellow side attempting to avoid getting into a relegation battle. However, this has arguably been the easiest points they will pick up this season due to how completely terrible Swansea have been.
87'
The Dutchman is involved again for Swansea as he gets into an advanced area around 25 yards out before firing a pass into Sigurdsson. The former Spurs man then turns sharply before passing down the channel for Routledge, but a miscommunication means possession weakly goes away from both players. Awful.
85'
Fer stabs a pass into the middle of midfield and the ball is subsequently fired into the feet of Routledge, who goes for a very difficult dink up and over the opposite defence for Sigurdsson. However, he fails to pull it off which means Bournemouth collect possession easily at the back.
83'
Borja Bastón enters the game and replaces Fernando Llorente.
Last throw of the dice form Swansea as Clement makes his third and final change. Record signing, Borja Baston enters the action and he will replace the disappointing Llorente as the lone striker up top.
81'
Swansea's performance in the last 10 minutes or so has actually been fairly pathetic as not only as they showing no signs of even grabbing a consolation, but they aren't even taking any care whatsoever with their passing. Mawson sums this up as he fires an attempted pass to Kingsley straight out of play.
79'
WHAT A SAVE FROM FABIANSKI! He keeps Swansea in with a shout! Wilshere goes on a marauding run down the left channel and ends up at the byline before clipping a perfect cross teasingly to the back post. King meets it with a commanding header, but is thwarted by the keeper who somehow gets across to make the stop!
77'
J. Cork gets yellow.
Cork is the latest player to go into the book, and deservedly so as he leaves something on Afobe around 35 yards out in the middle of the park. Definite signs of frustration creeping into the Swansea ranks now, and no wonder really.
Minute
Description
76'
Carroll moves away to pick up possession on the left wing, only to be bundled to the floor by his marker to earn the free-kick. Sigurdsson stands over it, but it is a disappointing delivery by the Icelandic's standards as he simply flights a harmless cross straight into the arms of the grateful Boruc.
75'
J. Wilshere enters the game and replaces R. Fraser.
74'
Just as Bournemouth go two goals up, Eddie Howe reacts by making his opening change. The excellent Fraser is the player coming off and he will be replaced by Arsenal loanee, Jack Wilshere.
72'
B. Afobe has scored a goal for AFC Bournemouth! Assist by J. King.
Cracking assist from King for his striking team-mate.
GOOOOOOOOAAAAAALLL FOR BOURNEMOUTH! The Cherries double the lead! A simple second ball is easily collected in the middle of the pitch by King, who drives forward with pace before laying the pass perfectly in for Afobe, who sends a precise finish in off the inside of the post! Two-nil!
69'
Llorente takes the ball down with a glorious touch at the back post and holds off the challenge of the defender before scrambling a cross back inside. Narsingh looks poised to pull the trigger, but a Bournemouth leg just sticks out at the last minute to stab possession away!
67'
W. Routledge enters the game and replaces Ki Sung-Yueng.
Another throw of the dice from Paul Clement here as he makes his second substitution. It is another positive one, too, as Wayne Routledge is introduced in place of Ki.
66'
Sigurdsson sends a corner in and again it is relatively easily cleared. Carroll picks up before passing back to Mawson, only for the defender to very nearly give possession away in an awful position whilst under pressure from King, but luckily for the visitors he manages to usher the ball back to Fabianski.
64'
Swansea are going to have to rely on set-pieces perhaps tonight as the only quality they have really displayed has came through Sigurdsson. The Iceland international did have that one superb shot from open play in the first half, but apart from that it has been corners and free-kicks.
62'
We get our first real glimpse of Narsingh since coming on as the Dutchman collects the ball down the right touchline. However, he rather weakly surrenders possession as Daniels easily shoves him off the ball before making the emphatic tackle.
60'
What will be most concering for Swansea fans here is that this performance brings up memories of how bad they were earlier in the season, with the lack of fight or pressing particularly evident. It was thought they had turned a corner under Clement, which they have for the most part, but they have been awful tonight.
58'
Swansea have been incredibly sloppy on the ball within the past couple of minutes which is so very unlike them. Normally the one thing you can count on with the Swans is at the very least patient passing, but there is no cohesion in the ranks so far.
56'
L. Narsingh enters the game and replaces J. Ayew.
First substitution of the match now, and it comes from Swansea to nobody's surprise. Leaving the action is the attacking non-entity of Ayew, and he will be replaced by Luciano Narsingh.
54'
SAVE FROM FABIANSKI! Following a dreadful quick free-kick from Swansea in which they give the ball away in a poor position, Gosling collects and drives forward before pulling the trigger with a dragged shot to the bottom corner. The goalkeeper gets down to make the stop, however.
52'
A bit better from Swansea in the early stages of the second period. Plenty of balls are being flung into the box for Llorente, but they aren't particularly accurate which is making it hard for the big Spaniard to use his aerial presence. He will get on the end of one sooner or later, surely?
50'
Cork initially does really well to win possession in the middle of the park before jinking past a couple of Bournemouth tackles. However, the next bit of play isn't so good as he misplaces an easily ball into the centre for the oncoming Carroll, who is left frustrated.
48'
Sigurdsson flights a free-kick into the box but somehow it evades everyone despite being at head-height to go to the opposite flank. Carroll bursts a gut to get the end of it and stop the Bournemouth throw-in, and does so, but the home side manage to clear not long after via Afobe.
46'
The second period is under way!
45'
One minute of added time has been allocated by the referee here as the first half winds down with Bournemouth dominating.
43'
It is all a bit grim for Swansea at the moment and Clement will probably be glad to get his players in shortly to make some tactical changes, as well as giving them a kick up the backside! They haven't turned up yet, but still plenty of football to be played.
41'
Surman steps up to take the set-piece following the Ki foul, but only succeeds in sending a weak strike straight into the arms of Fabianski.
40'
Ki Sung-Yueng gets yellow.
First yellow card of the match now and it is probably the most deserved one you will see on this day of Saturday action as Ki absolutely scythes down Fraser around 25 yards out. Free-kick to Bournemouth in a lovely position.
39'
Swansea are sitting so deep at the moment and it is playing into the hands of Bournemouth who are, of course, more than happy to be allowed to play their patient passing game in the middle.
37'
SUPERB SAVE FROM BORUC! Sigurdsson, who started the match on the left but is becoming more prominent in central areas in recent minutes, fires a lovely, dipping strike towards the bottom corner from all of 30 yards. It almost takes the Bournemouth stopper by surprise, but he manages to recover to turn round the post.
35'
Mawson was really unlucky to score that potential own-goal, but it appears that his confidence hasn't been affected as he cleverly jinks past the tackle of Afobe at the back to recover from a poor Fernandez pass.
33'
Bournemouth probably deserve that opening goal but Swansea shouldn't be too disheartened as they haven't been particularly bad going forward. A lot more care with the final ball is required from the visitors, but they are indeed getting into some decent areas.
31'
A. Mawson is unfortunate, scores an own goal!
GOOOOAAAAALLLLL FOR BOURNEMOUTH! The hosts take the lead! King gets the wrong side of the Swansea defends and turns sharply, only for Afobe to take over, drive forward, and fire a deflected strike past the despairing Fabianski between the sticks. It cannoned off Mawson on the edge of the box! One-nil.
29'
There hasn't been any goals yet but it is still a pulsating Premier League encounter between Bournemouth and Swansea. Strangely, there doesn't appear to be much nerves among the players despite the circumstances in the table as they are all wanting possession sharply. Good to see!
27'
Fraser and Smith link-up with some decent passes down the right wing and the former eventually cuts back inside before firing a ball to Surman. The central midfielder then attempts to thread a pass through the eye-of-the-needle for Afobe on the edge of the area, but Carroll does well to intercept.
25'
PENALTY SHOUT FOR SWANSEA! Following a Sigurdsson corner, Carroll latches on to a loose ball on the edge of the box and attempts to fire it back inside, only for Pugh to charge him down with his hands in the air. It did hit his hand, but the referee is probably right in his view that there wasn't a lot of room to get out of the way.
23'
NEARLY AN OWN-GOAL FROM KING! Sigurdsson stands over a free-kick down the left flank and steps up to fire an outstanding, looping cross into the centre of the area. The Bournemouth striker rises high to try and clear, only to send an ominous deflection down towards the bottom corner! Luckily for him, it results it a corner and not a goal.
21'
With the defensive woes which have plagued Bournemouth and Swansea this season, you would be forgiven for thinking we should see plenty of goals this evening. Not yet so far though as we just approach the midway point of the first half.
19'
Pugh picks up the ball down the left wing and beautifully chips a pass over the top of the Swansea defence into the channel. The overlapping Daniels meets it but just takes a heavy touch which means possession goes out out for the goal-kick before he can fire the cross back inside.
17'
Kingsley gets into an advanced area this time and bursts beyond his compatriot, Fraser, before looping a cross all the way towards the opposite end of the box. Ayew does really well to recycle a cross back into the danger area, but Bournemouth can clear before Llorente gets the header away.
15'
UNLUCKY FROM AFOBE! Fraser, who has probably been the brightest player so far, finds a yard of space down the right flank and then whips a teasing cross long to the back post for his team-mate, but the subsequent header goes wide of the mark. He was under a lot of pressure from the Swansea defenders, to be fair.
13'
It will be interesting to see how Fer fairs today as he is obviously playing out of position at right-back. He is already looking to provide width down the touchline and actually links up pretty well with Ayew here, but eventually sees his attempted cross in for Llorente blocked.
11'
The game started at a pretty high tempo but things have just quietened down a bit as Bournemouth probe with patient possession in midfield. Swansea haven't been able to get the likes of Llorente and Sigurdsson involved in things in advanced areas yet, but still early doors of course.
9'
JUST WIDE FROM FRASER! The young winger picks up the ball in a more central position this time and skips past a couple of challenges before pulling the trigger with a strike. Fabianski scrambles to get across but need not worry too much as the attempt is dragged a yard the wrong side of the post. Unlucky!
7'
Francis and Cook have previous this season for languishing on the ball for far too long at the back only to invite pressure from the opposition attackers. They are almost punished again here as Llorente intercepts a loose bit of possession, but the hosts are let off the hook on this occasion as the ball is eventually cleared.
5'
A cracking start to the match from Bournemouth who are looking to attack right from the get-go. They are using the atmosphere of the crowd to help them bomb forward, but they lose the ascendancy ever-so-slightly on this occasion as King, who scored a hat-trick last week, fires a wayward strike high into the stand.
3'
Swansea are of course missing plenty of bodies at the back today, particularly in the full-back positions. From looking at the way they are lining up early doors it appears that Fer is the player who is being deployed at right-back, with Kingsley on the opposite flank.

We are under way at the Vitality!
A few months ago, it would seem barely conceivable that the two sides featuring tonight would be separated by just two places and three points in the table. Bournemouth were flying high while Swansea were seemingly rooted inside the relegation zone, but their fortunes have flipped and as such points are greatly desired to try and put as much space as possible from the bottom three.
Good evening football fans! Welcome to LIVE coverage of the English Premier League clash between Bournemouth and Swansea from the Vitality Stadium.
The teams are making their way to the pitch and we are almost ready for kick-off!
The last time Bournemouth took on Swansea was once again in the Premier League, on New Year's Eve. On that occasion at the Liberty Stadium, it was a memorable win for the Cherries and an awful loss for the home side as Eddie Howe guided his side to the comfortable 3-0 win away from home, with Afobe, Fraser, and King all getting on the scoresheet.
Half-time at the Vitality. Bournemouth lead Swansea at the break 1-0 thanks to a goal from Afobe, which may indeed go down as an own-goal from Mawson. The Cherries have dominated for the most part, and look good value for the lead. Second period to come.
Full time at the Vitality Stadium. Bournemouth move nine points clear of the relegation zone after an easy 2-0 win at home to an abject Swansea side. Thanks for joining us, see you next time.
