Swansea City play host to Sheffield Wednesday at Liberty Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 5 of the 11 previous games, with the Swans winning just 4.
The last time the two teams met at Swansea City was amazingly over twenty years ago, in August 1983, with Sheff. Wed. inflicting a narrow 0-1 defeat upon the Swans in a Second Division match.
