Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe says he's never complacent about staying up.

With 12 fixtures of the campaign remaining, Cherries have 33 points in the bank and are nine clear of the relegation zone.

Howe told the Daily Echo: “I never feel safe until we are safe, whatever that figure is.

“The danger is we talk about what's going on above us and don't understand the importance of every point we're fighting for at the moment.

“There is no complacency from my side. There never has been and never will be. Every game I manage is life and death, it's that important for me.

“You are desperate to win and desperate to get points. Hopefully, I am coming across very clear that we have done nothing and need to maximise every game."
