Cardiff City face a trip to Swansea City at Liberty Stadium at lunchtime on Saturday, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Bluebirds will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 17 and win only 5 of the 30 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in November 2008, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2 - 2 draw in a Championship match.
