AFC BOURNEMOUTH travel to Portishead Town on Sunday as they look to increase the pressure on league-leaders Swindon Town after their emphatic 4-0 victory over the Robins last weekend.
The Cherries narrowed the gap at the top of the National League Division One South West table to just one point with that win on Sunday, with two games in hand for the south coast club.
It was a statement victory at the Vitality Stadium as Bournemouth netted twice in each half to make it eight wins from eight games.

Their hosts, meanwhile, have won just once all season, over bottom-of-the-pile Southampton Women in September, and fell to a 5-1 defeat away at Moneyfields last weekend.
Bournemouth have continued to be free scoring in the league, with a goal difference of 39 after only eight games.
Swindon host third placed Moneyfields as they look to return to winning ways after the Cherries ended their unbeaten start to the league season.
The Cherries’ Bournemouth neighbours Bournemouth Sports are not in action this weekend, next playing in the league against Bristol Rovers at the start of December.
Sports will hope their neighbours can get a result over Portishead, though, as Sports sit in the relegation zone, but only one point behind Portishead, although Town have a game in hand.
