History of the Swansea City v Queens Park Rangers fixture

Q.P.R. travel to take on Swansea City at Liberty Stadium on Tuesday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Rangers will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.

The last time the two teams met at Swansea City was back in November 2001, over five years ago, as they swept to an impressive 4 - 0 win in a F.A. Cup match.
