Swansea City play host to Ipswich Town at Liberty Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 1 of the 11 previous games, with the Swans winning just 5.
The last time the two teams met at Swansea City was amazingly over twenty years ago, in April 1983, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a First Division match.
