Northampton pack their bags to visit Swansea City at Liberty Stadium 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 4 of the 23 games.
The previous match played between the two at Liberty Stadium was within the last three years, in August 2004, as the visitors ran out cosy 0 - 2 winners in a League Two match.
