History of the Swansea City v Watford fixture

Watford travel to take on Swansea City at Liberty Stadium on Sunday afternoon, and have come away with little in previous meetings, having been beaten a depressing 13 out of 18 times.

The last time the two teams met at Swansea City was amazingly over twenty years ago, in February 1983, as the visitors ran out cosy 1 - 3 winners in a First Division match.
