Swansea City face a trip to Carlisle United at Brunton Park 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 April 2007, with Swansea City inflicting a narrow 1 - 2 defeat upon the Cumbrians in a League One match.
