Swansea City prepare to entertain Sheffield United at Liberty Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 8 of the 18 previous games, with the Swans winning just 7.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Liberty Stadium was less than a year ago, in December 2008, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a Championship match.

Nothing seems to be going right for the Swans at home recently, and I can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the The Blades come away with an easy victory. Away win
