Bournemouth captain Tommy Elphick has shrugged off talk of pressure surrounding his side with two games to go.

The Cherries know victories over Bolton and then Charlton will see them promoted to the top flight for the first time in their history but centre-back Elphick was quick to put some perspective on the situation.

"To be honest I think there is a little too much talk about pressure getting to people," he explained.

"The Championship is such a long, hard season. For me, pressure is being at the bottom and the chance of losing money and struggling to pay mortgages and stuff like that by getting relegated.

"This is something we should be embracing, relishing and trying to meet head-on."
