Eddie Howe has claimed that Bournemouth will not change their approach as they bid to end their poor run of form when they meet Swansea City on Saturday afternoon.

The Cherries have lost their last five games in all competitions and currently sit 18th in the Premier League, but Howe believes that his current methods will lead them to success in the near future.

"We are not going to change our ideals and our way of working and our way of playing for various reasons," Howe, whose side have won twice in 12 league games, told reporters.

"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."

Bournemouth have picked up just three points from a possible 18 away from home this season.
