FootyMAD's Swansea City match preview

History of the Swansea City v Watford fixture

Watford face a trip to 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 most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in November 2008, with Watford inflicting a narrow 0 - 1 defeat upon the Swans in a League Cup match.
