Bournemouth will take on Swansea City in the fourth round of the FA Cup at the Vitality Stadium on Thursday.
Bournemouth were 2-0 down up until the 48th minute in the previous round's fixture against QPR. However, they managed to register a 3-2 comeback with goals from Marcus Tavernier, Kieffer Moore and Justin Kluivert in the second half. They are heading into this fixture on the back of a heavy defeat against Liverpool and will be looking to bounce back with a win.
Swansea have only won two out of their last six matches and will be hoping to put up a good display against the Premier League side. Here GOAL brings you everything you need to know about how to watch, including TV channel, streaming details and more.
