Swansea City face a trip to Leyton Orient at Matchroom Stadium 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 18 and win only 8 of the 35 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in October 2003, with Swansea City inflicting a narrow 1 - 2 defeat upon the O's in a League Division Three match.
