Footymad preview History of the Fulham v Swansea City fixture

Swansea City face a trip to Fulham at Craven Cottage on Saturday afternoon, and have come away with little in previous meetings, having been beaten a depressing 24 out of 31 times.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Craven Cottage was less than a year ago, in March 2012, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-3 winners in a Premier League match.
