Swansea City travel to take on Preston North End at Deepdale on Tuesday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Swans will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them taste defeat on 13 occasions, and draw 10, from the 25 games played.
The last time the two teams met at Preston N.E. was well over fifteen years ago, back in March 1993, as the visitors ran out cosy 1 - 3 winners in a League Division Two match.
