Eddie Howe has said that Bournemouth are using Swansea City as inspiration for Premier League survival.
Bournemouth won promotion to the Premier League after winning the Championship last season.
"We have analysed a lot of the clubs that have got promoted and what they have done and how they have gone about their work," Howe is quoted as saying by The Express. "We have tried to follow our principles, which are more important than what anyone else does.
"We are more related to Swansea than anyone else with the style of our football. That's not to say we have followed their blueprint but there are similarities between the two clubs, especially with their history and ours.
"Hopefully we can emulate what they have done."
Swansea City have stayed in the Premier League since their promotion in 2011.
