History of the Watford v Swansea City fixture

Swansea City face a trip to Watford at Vicarage Road Stadium on Tuesday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Swans 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 most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in March 2010, with Swansea City inflicting a narrow 0 - 1 defeat upon the Hornets in a Championship match.
