Swansea City prepare to entertain Hartlepool United at Liberty Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Swans are clearly on top, having won 10 and lost only 3 of the 19 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Liberty Stadium was two seasons ago, in January 2006, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a League One match.
