History of the Swansea City v Leeds United fixture

The Whites travel to take on Swansea City at Liberty Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes. United will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.

The last time the two teams met at Swansea was amazingly over twenty years ago, in May 1984, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2 - 2 draw in a Second Division match.
