Swansea City prepare to entertain Port Vale at Liberty Stadium on Monday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Swans are clearly on top, having won 14 and lost only 6 of the 27 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Liberty Stadium was just last season, in January 2006, when they played out a goalless draw in a League One match.
