Swansea City face a trip to Northampton Town at Sixfields 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 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 just last season, in November 2003, the Cobblers carving out a narrow 2 - 1 victory in a League Division Three match.
