Swansea City prepare to entertain Derby County at Liberty Stadium on Friday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Swans are clearly on top, having won 11 and lost only 4 of the 18 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Liberty Stadium was just last season, in September 2008, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a Championship match.
