Swansea City prepare to entertain Preston North End at Liberty Stadium at lunchtime on Saturday, looking to continue an impressive record. The Swans are clearly on top, having won 18 and lost only 4 of the 28 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Liberty Stadium was just last season, in January 2009, when they eased past their opponents in a high-scoring 4-1 thriller, in a Championship match.
