Swansea City face a trip to Bury at Gigg Lane on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Swans will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 21 and win only 6 of the 36 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in January 2004, with Bury running out comfortable 2 - 0 winners in a League Division Three match.
