History of the Norwich City v Swansea City fixture

Swansea City travel to take on Norwich City at on Saturday afternoon, and have come away with little in previous meetings, having been beaten a depressing 14 out of 21 times.

The last time the two teams met at Norwich City was more than a decade ago, in August 1998, the Canaries carving out a narrow 1 - 0 victory in an League Cup match.
