Footymad preview History of the Swansea City v Aston Villa fixture

Swansea City prepare to entertain Aston Villa at White Rock Stadium on Tuesday afternoon, looking to improve on a dire past record against their opponents. It does not make pleasant reading, winning 27.27 of the games played between the two.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at White Rock Stadium was just last season, in November 2011, when they played out a goalless draw in a Premier League match.
