History of the Swansea City v Tranmere Rovers fixture

Swansea City prepare to entertain Tranmere Rovers at Liberty Stadium on Tuesday evening, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 1 of the 12 previous games, with the Swans winning just 5.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Liberty Stadium was just last season, in October 2006, when they played out a goalless draw in a League One match.
