History of the Swansea City v Blackpool fixture

Swansea City prepare to entertain Blackpool at Liberty Stadium on Sunday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Swans are clearly on top, having won 11 and lost only 3 of the 19 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Liberty Stadium was two seasons ago, in May 2007, as the visitors ran out cosy 3-6 winners in a League One match.
