Northampton face a trip to Swansea City at Vetch Field on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Cobblers will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 12 and win only 3 of the 22 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in April 2004, as the visitors ran out cosy 0 - 2 winners in a League Division Three match.
