History of the Swansea City v Norwich City fixture

Norwich City travel to take on Swansea City at Liberty Stadium on Saturday afternoon, and have come away with little in previous meetings, having been beaten a depressing 14 out of 20 times.

The last time the two teams met at Swansea City was more than a decade ago, in August 1998, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1 - 1 final scoreline in a League Cup match.
