Footymad preview History of the Swansea City v Fulham fixture

Fulham pack their bags to visit Swansea City at Liberty Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Cottagers will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 15 and win only 6 of the 29 games.

The previous match played between the two at Liberty Stadium was within the last three years, in February 2009, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a F.A. Cup match.
